Weekend Post-Mortem: Ireland Patience Outlasts England Speed

The Six Nations Championship has begun for 2025, with France and Ireland laying down statement wins in Round 1, providing Brett McKay & Harry Jones with the perfect platform to kick off the new Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast.

France were completely dominant in their 43-0 win over hapless Wales in Paris on Friday night, with Scotland’s 31-19 win over Italy in Edinburgh, and Ireland’s patient 27-22 win over England in Dublin completed the opening weekend with bonus points for all three winners.

Also: Japan’s Rugby League One Rd.7 action gets a mention.
