The 2026 Six Nations has arrived, and the landscape for Irish rugby has shifted. With the "Old Guard" absent and a mounting injury list, Dave Kilcoyne and Luke Delaney dive deep into what this new era looks like for Andy Farrell’s squad.

In this episode of What The Ruck, "Killer" gives us the unfiltered truth about Bundee Aki’s shock suspension and what it means for the squad’s depth.
