All the details about Ireland’s next match in the Six Nations 2024. <\/p>
Ireland enter the Six Nations 2024 seeking to defend their title, despite mounting opposition in the annual competition.<\/p>\n
The 2023 champions enjoyed a Grand Slam, a clean sweep, on their way to their first title since 2018.<\/p>\n
Andy Farrell\u2019s men put together an 18-match winning streak during 2022 and 2023, which came to an abrupt end with defeat to New Zealand in a box-office Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash. That wasn\u2019t supposed to happen.<\/p>\n
Ireland failed to make the most of their opportunity to clinch a maiden World Cup title \u2013 or even a first appearance in the semi-finals \u2013 and the pressure is back on for Farrell\u2019s team to bounce back.<\/p>\n
They will have to do so without talismanic captain Johnny Sexton, who retired following that defeat to the All Blacks.<\/p>\n
