  • Italy's brilliant campaign, Ireland get the job done and is that it for Peter O'Mahony in a green shirt?
    Mar 19 2024

    Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is once again joined in the House of Rugby studio by Lindsay Peat and James Downey as they look back on the weekend’s Six Nations action and particularly Ireland’s title win!

    They look at Italy’s brilliance in Cardiff, Ireland getting the job done against Scotland, and France coming to fruition against England.

    Will Italy’s campaign be a flash in the pan, or are they cooking something special? France and England show signs of improvement for next year, and just what is happening in Wales?

    Have we seen Peter O’Mahony in an Irish jersey for the last time? What do we need to do to muster a challenge against the Springboks?

    All this and more on this week’s House of Rugby!
