The Eire Six Nations squad has been the dominant drive within the event lately. In actual fact, their solely defeat throughout the 2023 and 2024 championships was their surprising reverse in opposition to England at Twickenham in March.
They head into the Six Nations 2025 as favourites as soon as once more, however there’ll be a large change behind the scenes. After the Autumn Internationals, Eire boss Andy Farrell is off to handle the British & Irish Lions on their tour to Australia. It’s barely unknown territory for the staff, however with such a deep pool to choose from, interim head coach Simon Easterby is bound to pick out a powerful Eire Six Nations squad subsequent 12 months. Certainly, most of the gamers are prone to make the reduce for Farrell’s Lions touring occasion.
