Sam Prendergast has emerged as a doubt for Ireland's Nations Championship opener against Argentina in two weeks' time, with the out-half dealing with a wrist injury picked up in training this week.

After a good week in Europe for the Irish provinces, it's back to the BKT United Rugby Championship this week, as they look to climb the table.

We're now deep into the "last time you will ever..." conversations with Leo Cullen on his farewell season.

The Ireland women's rugby team have been ticking off new venues throughout 2026; Their eight games this year have been played across seven different stadiums, four of those hosting them for the first time.

Leinster overpowered Munster in the second half at Aviva Stadium, as Leo Cullen's side came from 13-0 down to record a bonus-point 24-18 win against their rivals.

Munster head coach Clayton McMillan says "the powers that be" will decide on the outcome of an allegation of serious foul play, after his side's at Aviva Stadium.

Ireland look set to be without centre Garry Ringrose for their Nations Championship campaign next month due to a hamstring injury.

Ireland remain hopeful that Sam Prendergast will be fit to play some part in next week's Nations Championship clash with Argentina, as the out-half battles a wrist injury.

Before the Ireland squad went their separate ways after their Nations Championship campaign closed out in New Zealand, Andy Farrell put a date in his players' diaries.

Ian Keatley doesn't believe Andy Farrell will be tempted to start Dan Sheehan at number 8 during Ireland's Nations Championship games next month, despite the Leinster captain's "incredible" switch to the back row last week.
