Unmissable sport this weekend

A big weekend of rugby, with Ireland against France in the Women’s Six Nations.

WHILE THE WORLD Snooker Championship heats up throughout the weekend, Saturday is all about a massive Irish rugby tripleheader: Connacht seek a seventh successive win in the URC as they try to break into the play-off spots, while Munster host Ulster with similar stakes on the line. Then, Ireland head to France in the Women’s Six Nations in what Ireland captain Erin King is describing as a ‘revenge’ match following last year’s World Cup heartbreak. Plus, Cork and Limerick lock horns again on Sunday, this time in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship.
