#sixnations
England forward Poppy Cleall and centre Amber Reed will be unavailable for Sunday's Women's #SixNations match against Italy.
''It's 10 years since Ireland won the Grand Slam for the first and only time and in the wake of Saturday's heavy loss to Wales it's not hard not to wonder how it's come to this.'' ๐ฌ

Zwischenzeitlich hatte ich nicht mehr damit gerechnet, aber #DieEierkรถpfe haben letzte Woche Folge 100 ihres #Rugby #Podcast verรถffentlicht. Neben (berechtigten) Selbstabfeiern werden die #SixNations ausfรผhrlich nachbesprochen.
Also auf den nรคchsten 100 ohne mehrmonatige Pausen :D
Glรผckwunsch!

Correct decision to rescind. If thatโs a red then you might as well steam on through and take the guy out. Trying to avoid the collision has to be a mitigation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/65035837 #sixnations #6nations #tackle #ENGvIRE
Happy Mother's Day! On this day of Irish pride, let's also cheer for St. Patrick and Ireland's Six Nations victory. Here's to all the love and celebration! #MothersDay #StPatricksDay #sixnations

Sending all the positive green vibes to Ireland's U20s today!!! #COYBIG #SixNations
It's not over yet. The future #6Nations stars are doing their thing tomorrow afternoon with Ireland U20s chasing the grand slam too
Today was Ireland's fourth Grand Slam. The first was in 1948, then a long wait until the 2nd in 2009, with the 3rd one 5 years ago in 2018.
It was the first Grand Slam won in Dublin, though, as the others were won in Belfast, Cardiff and London.
Anyone done any of their special interests today?
We were in the car all day. But I got to watch the rugby. England lost. But seeing Ireland get their first Grand Slam was decent. I just love rugby.
I remember reading about this a few years ago, but I've forgotten the details.
Why does Ireland have 27 points after 5 wins and 4 bonus points? Where does the 3 extra points come from?
At least we got rid of Eddie Jones.
#sixnations #scotland
Possibly the best touchdown I've ever seen ๐
#IREvENG Wow, what a bonkers match today. But a win is a win, and Johnny Sexton getting a grand slam sendoff at Aviva? *chefkiss* #SixNations #Rugby
On the one hand I'm glad Ireland beat the English, on the other hand rugby can go and shite for banning trans women from the sport. #MastoDaoine #SixNations #coybig #rugby
Will there be anyone at work in #ireland tomorrow? #sixnations ๐๐
Well, well played #Ireland - a thoroughly well deserved #SixNations #Rugby #GrandSlam ๐
Well done to Ireland! Thereโs little kids in that stadium who will be talking about this game when they are in their 80โs.
Congratulations to Ireland on the Grand Slam, a thoroughly deserved win! #IREvENG #SixNations
Itโs an Irish grand slam! #IREvENG #SixNations
Bonus point for Ireland! #IREvENG #SixNations
#SixNations #Rugby Not the gubbing that I expected #England to get at the hands of #Ireland who rode it out. #England came close and without the red card might have made it.
Congratulations Ireland.
England definitely does not need another cardโฆ #IREvENG #SixNations

It's got to be weird that one of the country's national anthems is also the national anthem of 3ยผ of the countries in the tournament.
France really just do have a ton of talent on the pitch. Come on Wales, turn this around! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ #FRAvWAL #SixNations
Anyone else watching France v Wales on ITV? Is the audio running just a little bit ahead of the video for you? Feels like a few moments where the commentator is describing things just before they happen. #SixNations #rugby
#6nations #rugby #SCOvITA thrilling spectacle at the finish, as a sport we need #Italy and other teams to continue improving their game and giving the old guard serious competition.
Let's settle in for #FRAvWAL - get that drubbing over and done with, so we can enjoy #IREvENG at home, #StPatricksDay weekend #GrandSlam
#SixNations #Rugby Oh, that was so, so, so cruel. But, absolutely stunning try from #Scotland - bonus point!
I'm noodling about on Mastodon because I can't actually watch the last 5m of #ScovIta #6nations #sixnations
#SixNations #Rugby Great try from #Italy. Misses the conversion. #Scotland need to waken up.

#FRAvSCO turning out interesting. Red cards on both sides, gaps in defence in both teams as a result, some good turnovers of possession. Exciting match! #SixNations ๐
