The Six Nations kicks off with an anticipated clash between Ireland and France reminiscent of a World Cup final scenario. Both teams have been dominant in recent years setting the stage for an epic battle that could shape the tournament’s trajectory.

Despite playing in Marseille due to Olympic preparations in Paris the intensity is expected to be high akin to their physical encounter in 2022. The absence of key players like Antoine Dupont and Johnny Sexton adds intrigue with Jack Crowley poised to fill Sexton’s shoes for Ireland.

Even though Rob Herring is sidelined due to injury he maintains his focus on rehabilitating and spending quality time with his family highlighting the positive aspects of his circumstances.
