Expanding the Squad

In preparation for the game, Ireland has called up Max Deegan, Darragh Murray, Tommy O'Brien, and Tom O'Toole from the Ireland 'A' squad. These additions aim to bolster the team's depth and flexibility, ensuring optimal performance against a formidable French side.

Excitement Builds

With the match fast approaching, the focus intensifies on Ireland's strategy and player conditions, highlighting the drama and excitement that the Six Nations championship brings to the rugby world.

Final Thoughts

As the countdown to the Ireland vs. France match continues, all eyes will be on Doris and his potential impact. His return could be the catalyst Ireland needs to secure another monumental victory in their quest for Six Nations glory.
