James Lowe has been dropped entirely from Ireland’s matchday squad as Andy Farrell makes six changes to the starting fifteen that beat Scotland in last weekend’s Guinness Six Nations.

There six new faces and two positional changes in the 15 off the back of Ireland’s heavy injury toll following their bruising encounter with the Scots in Murrayfield.

Garry Ringrose is ruled out of the side through injury so Bundee Aki slots in at inside centre with Robbie Henshaw shifting to the No.13 jersey.

    England World Cup winner Neil Back guests on RugbyPass Offload with Dylan Hartley and Ryan Wilson

    Jacob Stockdale returns to the team for the first time since the Autumn Nations Cup win over Scotland back in December and is named on the left wing with Keith Earls on and Hugo Keenan completing the back three.

    In the front row Dave Kilcoyne starts at loosehead alongside Rob Herring at hooker and Tadhg Furlong at tighthead.

    Tadhg Beirne moves into lock to partner Iain Henderson in the absence of the injured James Ryan.

    Will Connors was ruled out yesterday with a knee injury in training so Josh van der Flier comes in at openside. CJ Stander moves to 6 for his final Ireland game in Aviva Stadium and Jack Conan is named at No.8.

    'Devastating': Stephen Donald weighs in on the next All Black 10

    Interesting article. Love certainly had impact at 10 against a very strong Chiefs side. His vision, goal kicking and general play enabled his team to beat them comfortably. If he can continue that form he would be an asset for the ABs so should at least be in the squad.

    Ther has been some talk of ‘good cop bad cop’ with Joe playing the tough love role A, but Joe won’t be there for at least one year. So it is not clear what the plan is, esp with Les slated to finish one year after a WC in 2028?


    I think the choice reflects the current battle for power between Waugh and Dan Herbert, and you’re point of comp with Ewen McKenzie may turn out ot be all too accurate.


    It is not a chocie which will lead to unity of purpose in the long run, it will simply expose the flaws at the time of making it.

    The next idea to try might be fornting up with the first XV on those tough tours of SA pre-Champions Cup semi. Get them battle hardened upstairs for the tests ahead.

    In fairness Eng’s D was far better by the end of the 6N than it was in the first half of the tourney Tom. Three 7’s was humming along nicely.

    Saints will prioritize he Champions Cup over the Prem naturally. They have very little chance making the playoffs.

    Steady on, NB, as an England fan, we’ve got two very tough tests in Argentina with ranking points on the line before the RWC draw.

    With that selection we might have Joe Heyes at fly half.

    What Newcastle 'can’t legislate for' as they face fellow basement dwellers

    It started as an ordinary Tuesday. I was checking my Bybit portfolio when an email popped up that looked like a legitimate alert from the exchange, warning of suspicious activity. Without thinking, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. The moment I hit submit, a sinking feeling hit me. Within minutes, my Bitcoin wallet was completely drained.Losing 3.2 BTC, worth nearly $200,000 at the time, wasn’t just a financial blow. It felt like a personal violation. I couldn’t believe I had fallen for a phishing scam. I spent days digging through forums, contacting Bybit support, and even filing a police report. But the responses were disheartening and repetitive. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Scam victims rarely recover their funds. The helplessness was crushing.I barely slept. I kept replaying that moment over and over in my head. Why did I click the link? Why didn’t I double-check? The guilt and frustration consumed me. Friends tried to be supportive, but most didn’t understand the emotional and financial weight of what had happened. I had always been cautious with security. Yet in one distracted moment, everything disappeared.Weeks later, while scrolling through Reddit threads on crypto scams, I stumbled upon several mentions of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . At first, I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. But the testimonials felt genuine, and I was desperate. I decided to reach out.Their response was fast, professional, and surprisingly empathetic. They didn’t promise miracles. Instead, they explained their method: tracing blockchain transactions, identifying potential exchange cash-outs, and working with legal and crypto entities to freeze and recover funds.I sent them everything I had wallet addresses, transaction records, screenshots and waited. Just a few days later, I received an email that left me speechless. They had successfully traced and recovered all of my stolen Bitcoin.I couldn’t believe it. After being told repeatedly that the funds were gone forever, here they were, back in my wallet. It felt like waking up from a nightmare. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn’t just help me get my money back. They restored my sense of security, my trust, and my peace of mind.I share my story now in case someone else out there is feeling the same panic and hopelessness I once felt. There is help.

    Waratahs turn to 'tough bugger' for captaincy with more history on the line

    It started as a normal Tuesday. While checking my Bybit portfolio, I got an email warning of suspicious activity. It looked real, so I clicked the link and entered my login. Seconds after hitting submit, I knew I'd made a mistake. Within minutes, my Bitcoin—3.2 BTC, nearly $200,000—was gone. I was devastated. I contacted Bybit, filed a police report, and searched forums, but everyone said the same: crypto scams are rarely recoverable. I couldn’t sleep. The guilt and helplessness were overwhelming. Then, weeks later, I found mentions of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES on Reddit. I was skeptical, but desperate. I reached out, and their team responded quickly and professionally. They traced the stolen funds using blockchain forensics and worked with crypto partners. In just days, they recovered all my BTC. I couldn’t believe it. GRAYWARE didn’t just return my funds—they gave me back peace of mind. If you’ve been scammed, there’s hope.

    Why ‘the curse of the Bambino’ is still stronger than ever at Leinster

    It might be a mistake to read too much into the last England game. England were all over the shop with Felix Jones having walked out very unexpectedly half way through implementing the complex ‘blitz’ system. In the match half the team were ‘blitzing’ half drifting and it descended into a glorified game of sevens.

    I don’t think was Jordie was a 50/50 option. He gave Leinster a triple threat option they do not have with Robbie H at this stage of his career.

    Jordie ot Porter are the obvious ones Ed, though James Ryan was also a big miss leading the lineout.
