Will be reviewing all the weekends Guinness Men's Six Nations action on RTÉ2 from 8pm including a deep dive into France’s collision dominance #AgainstTheHead RTÉ Sport #IREvFRA

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport The elephant in the room of @IrishRugby 6N narrative has been the sidelining of Jack Crowley and the blind faith in Prendergast, no matter how many mistakes. Terrible management of how to ruin the confidence of one outhalf and over hype a 22 year old. Awful look.

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport What rankles is we’ve seen Leinster, say, have noticeably physical, intense, dominant performances against the likes of La Rochelle lately. Given the stakes and the context of this game, for them to have been so meek seems bizarre. From largely the same group of players, too.

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport Fra are stronger but power does not always = gainline success. In vid below one is Fra footwork, one is Ire going for ill advised choke tackle (refs don’t wanna give em anymore) and another is poor tackle by Ire. Besides Meafou running over Doris don’t think size was our problem?

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport Power for me is the ability to move with great speed or force. Not about mass.

It will be exciting 😬 The next international break is just around the corner. In the individual continents, the countries are battling it out for participation in the 2026 World Cup. Follow all the matches live with us. Try Soccer Bot™:

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport That one drive starts at Ireland's 10m line and finishes on there 22 ! That was the warning of what was to come. France were excellent.

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport POM decision is giving more than not , jamie Osborne tackle on Penaud Doris over the ball barrise in fron the side , Alot of people thibk Gardiner had a good game but I disagree I think we were hard done by on a good few calls

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport The “Blue flu” in the IRFU, the media and the coaching box is what has led to this, perfectly encapsulated by the treatment of Jack and the shoehorning of a talented but seriously underdeveloped Prendergast, we were asked to not to believe what we were seeing with our own eyes.

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport Must you 🥴! Maybe "we" always feel that they will get the job done in the 2nd half! Not to be this time. As I tell myself, you learn more when you lose! Also, you can't win them all. However, I'm still gutted. Onwards ☘️

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport Don’t you think that the irish squad is on expiration date ? Golden âge is over…they have to wait the next génération

@SixNationsRugby @RTE2 @RTEsport Is it me or in this short clip does it show a forward pass and Alldritt in from the side? FRA certainly won the collisions. IRE were slower.
