When enough is enough: How much more can Irish players take?
When enough is enough: How much more can Irish players take?
With just two rounds of Six Nations action to go, it’s time to take stock. To date, I have seen Ireland live in all three contests; England, Wales, and France twice each in the flesh, and Italy once.

Disappointment? Yes, but this was a defeat with difference
Disappointment? Yes, but this was a defeat with difference
Ireland may not have been interested in getting into a war of words with Eddie Jones in the build-up to Saturday’s face-off at Twickenham, preferring instead to launch a war of attrition against the lippy Aussie and his English team where it mattered most, on the field, writes Donal Lenihan.

Three things Joe Schmidt's Ireland must produce to surprise England
Three things Joe Schmidt's Ireland must produce to surprise England

To frustrate England, it is imperative to stop Billy Vunipola from making his trademark big carries, writes Donal Lenihan.

Time for Ireland to turn pressure into points
Time for Ireland to turn pressure into points

If Ireland are to salvage something tangible from this season’s Six Nations championship, then Twickenham is the place to do it.

Joe Schmidt’s Ireland facing tough task keeping up with Eddie Jones's England
Joe Schmidt’s Ireland facing tough task keeping up with Eddie Jones's England
The swagger is back. England trooped off the luscious turf of the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday afternoon, happy in their own skin and beginning to feel good about themselves again.

Injuries on top of insult for Joe Schmidt’s walking wounded
Injuries on top of insult for Joe Schmidt’s walking wounded
Last week, any possibility of a Grand Slam or Triple Crown was eliminated on the first outing. This week the potential for a historic third championship on the bounce has also gone west. With England next up in Twickenham, and the casualty rate rising by the day, Ireland are struggling.

Ireland v Wales - RBS Six Nations Rugby Championship 2016
Three key issues as Ireland seek to capitalise on French weaknesses

Donal Lenihan looks ahead to Ireland's clash with France.

Ireland v Wales - RBS Six Nations Rugby Championship 2016
Six Nations championship will come down to survival of the fittest
If the opening sequence of games highlighted anything, it’s that the 2016 Six Nations title may well end up in the arms of the team with the shortest casualty list. The ability to close out tight contests is now coming down to having your key players in situ on the home straight.

Paul O’Connell was destined to be a Munster lifer after all
Paul O’Connell was destined to be a Munster lifer after all
SO everyone's go-to man has called it a day. For a rugby player who gave so much for so long, he deserved to bow out in a gladiatorial manner, writes Donal Lenihan.

Ireland v Wales - RBS Six Nations Rugby Championship 2016
Ireland need Sean O’Brien and Rob Kearney back in the mix for Paris

If the opening two contests of this season’s RBS Six Nations disappointed to some degree, yesterday’s amazing clash in Dublin served to restore everyone’s faith in northern hemisphere rugby.
