What's happening with Ireland Rugby
teams.ie Editorial TeamUlster are on the brink of back-to-back Junior Interprovincial titles with just one game standing between them and a historic three-in-a-row, while Hugo Keenan has secured his future at Leinster by signing a new two-year IRFU central contract that underscores the province's continued strength at full-back. Off the pitch, the women's game is gathering momentum with Dexcom Stadium set to host a thrilling Six Nations double-header this Saturday, and there's a fresh creative spark flowing through Irish rugby after the IRFU crowned Jack Smyth from St Patrick's Longford as the winner of their innovative jersey design competition. Even Eddie Jones, hardly a cheerleader for Irish rugby, has tipped his hat to the impressive development pathway being built across the game here.
