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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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

Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in the House of Rugby studio by Lindsay Peat and Johne Murphy as they look back on the weekend’s Six Nations and Ireland’s defeat to England. 
They look at the dying minutes of the game and Conor Murray’s decision to box-kick and whether it was the right or wrong decision.  
They discuss England’s approach to the game, how they managed to score three tries and exploit the Irish defence. 
And they look ahead to Ireland’s final game against Scotland as they look to wrap up the Six Nations title.
Plus, we hear from Rob Kearney and get his thoughts on the defeat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ireland's poor decision making, more discipline issues and Rob Kearney interview

Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in the House of Rugby studio by Lindsay Peat and Pat McCarry as they look back on a weekend of URC rugby and ahead to Ireland's Six Nations clash against England this week. They look at Ulster's start to life without Dan McFarland at the helm, and why it's looking positive so far. They look at Irish attitudes towards being favourites in games and whether that needs to change given our dominance, and will an Irishman wreck the Grand Slam? They dissect Felix Jones' blitz defence and why it hasn't exactly worked so far with England.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ulster's new era, changing Irish attitudes, Jones' blitz defence and Hugo Keenan interview

Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined by Lindsay Peat and Johne Murphy as they look back on Ireland’s 31-7 win over Wales in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. 
They look at some of the sloppy Ireland play, some good Welsh defending and what Ireland will be looking to improve on over the next few weeks. 
They dive into Ireland’s scrum and how they’re improving, and where they’re making their mistakes with discipline. 
Plus, they look at the other results across the tournament, how England allowed Scotland to take control of the game and the controversial end to the Italy/France draw. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Ireland need to fix to be the most dominant Six Nations team ever

Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in studio by Lindsay Peat and Pat McCarry as they look back on Ireland's win over Italy in the Six Nations.

They look at some of the key positions and whether or not Ireland will look to make some changes against Wales. 
And was it a try or not? They discuss the Scotland and France game, and the fall-out from the Dupont Law. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
