Six Nations: Despite Ireland’s win over Italy, manager Andy Farrell is still demanding more
UK News today : After seeing his team struggle to a 34-20 victory over Italy in their Six Nations match in Rome on Saturday, Ireland head coach Andy Farrell wants more from his team as they strive for Six Nations and World Cup success. On March 12, his team will play Scotland at Murrayfield as they continue their Grand Slam quest.
Ireland scored four tries in the first 35 minutes, but it wasn’t until the closing 10 that they sealed the victory as Italy put on a spirited comeback.
William serves as the patron of the Wales Rugby Union, and Kate, who succeeded the Duke of Sussex in the position a year ago, serves as the patron of the Rugby Football Union.
Since Warren Gatland took over as head coach again, the home team has lost three straight Six Nations games thanks to the final tally of Wales 10-20 England.
Following the result, William and Kate shared a statement in both English and Welsh on social media.
Returning in Cardiff for the Welsh Rugby Union vs. England Rugby matchup, it said.
The Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, the employees at the stadium, and all the volunteers who make the game what it is were a pleasure to meet.
We appreciate you having us for Six Nations Rugby!
The renowned competitive royals made jokes prior to the highly anticipated contest.
The first six nations were who?
Every year for the coveted title trophy, England, Wales, Ireland, France, Scotland, and Italy face off.
The competition was first established as the Home Nations Championship in 1883, and it has since grown and evolved into its present shape, which it adopted in 2000 when Italy joined the Five Nations.

I’ve had four encounters with William, Mr. Moyle said.
“When I told him I wished to meet his young lady, he made it happen.”
One of rugby’s most heated rivalries was in risk of being called off after Wales players threatened to strike over a disagreement over contracts and a ban on moving abroad.
