Did you watch the Ireland–France match?
The Six Nations kicked off last night.
THE 2026 SIX Nations kicked off with a challenging night for Ireland, with a 36-14 defeat to France.
“There was some good resolve in the second half, but we don’t want to be a team that’s chasing. We left ourselves too big a mountain to climb,” said head coach Andy Farrell following the game.
While a disappointing result, it’s only the beginning of the tournament – with Italy against Scotland tomorrow and Ireland facing Italy on Saturday 14 February.
So, tell us: Did you tune in to last night’s Ireland-France match?
