The winners of the six nations 2024, the Irish form has been suffering lately and are under pressure to be successful by 2025.
Ireland is as a whole behind the inconsistent 2024. After the disappointment of the World Cup in Rugbi in 2023, they began magnificent with a stunning victory of 38-17 Six Nations over France in Marseille, but they were denied the opportunity for historical consecutive Grand Slam Tournaments after the late defeat of England in twickenham in car 4.
Faced with a heavy summer tour to 1st World Champion in South Africa, they lost their first test, but then returned the second test and victory over the Springboxy in Durban with a score of 25-24 with a score of 25-24 and draw in the 1-1 series.
In November, they were far from their best result in the defeat of New Zealand 23-13, but responded to victories over Argentina, Fiji and Australia – each with different levels of effect, must be said.
In 2025, Ireland hosted England and France, with a difficult journey to Scotland. Here’s all you need to know on the eve of Ireland’s first game with England in Aviva …

What has changed?
In the third Six Nations campaign in a row, Ireland enters with a new Leinster -shaped captain number 8 Caelan Doris.
For Grand Slam 2023, Johnny Sexton led the team in his last season, while the last line of Peter O’Mahony was a captain for the inheritance of the 2024 title last year.
Peter O’Mahony was captain of Ireland to the title of Six Nations 2024 but is no longer a captain
With O’Mahony, who is now 35 years old and is most likely in his last season of professional rugby, Andy Farrell has made the decision to promote Doris for autumn tests, and a strong number 8 will be under the spotlight to lead and silence the suggestions that this is Ireland side in the fall.
Doris will be under pressure from performing and running a team that many say is in the fall
Speaking about Farrell, he will not be part of the Irish professional staff for this championship, he goes to the position of the main coach of British and Irish lions. Simon Easterby, who has trained Ireland since 2014 in charge of attackers and then defense, takes over the place of temporary main coach.

The main point of conversation in team news this year is Out-Half. Jack Crowley of Munster held a T -shirt for most of the 2024, playing every minute of winning the title of Six Nations and starting both tests in South Africa, but Farrell decided to quickly follow the Prendergast from Leinster in November.
Whether Crowley will keep its place of great interest and it is the first big decision that Easterby has to do.

What is hot?
Despite all that their autumn campaign was unsatisfactory, Ireland nevertheless left three wins of four and retained some extremely talented players on their team.
People like Andrew Porter, Dana Sheehan, Tadhg Beirnea, Josh van der Flier, Doris, Bundee Aki, Mack Hansen and Hugo Keenan would adorn most of the team in the world.
Ireland, because of its uneven form, retains some of the best players in the world like Tadhg Beirneo
Some key people also returned after injuries on time to start Six Nations in Sheehan and James Lowe – Sheehan, in particular, had a sincere argument that he is the best player in the world in his position, and all in Ireland will hope return after a serious knee injury without problems.
Tightening Pr
Dan Sheehan was probably the best whore in the world before the knee injury, and his return – if he is ready – will be a great impetus
Despite the domestic defeat of New Zealand in November, Ireland maintained a very impressive record in Dublin in Six Nations. They have not lost at home in the Championship since February 2021 and have not lost six nations with an audience for six years, since February 2019.
The odd year in the calendar are also campaigns where Ireland usually has a better chance of winning the title – avoiding France and England could still play a big role.
What isn’t it?
The loss of the main coach Farrell will surely have an influence, while the huge dominance of Leinster players within this Irish team is a disaster that awaits to happen.
That Farrell is not included in the Irish lineup will surely be a great loss
Some 23 of the 36 selected have a contract in Leinster, leaving players in impressive form in other provinces that they scratch on their heads about what they have to do to get a national call.
Munster is the main victims with quality such as Oli Jager, Thomas Ahern, John Hodett, Gavin Coombes, Tom Farrell and Shane Daly absent, while Jude Postlethwaite and Nick Timoney of Ulster were also neglected.
All three Loosehead props are teams from Leinster, while three of the four whores are also from the province based in Dublin. The Hugh Cooney Center is a game as a development player compared to Postlethwaite, despite the fact that he barely appeared this season.
In parts of the country, the feeling that management of the national side is no longer corresponding to the purpose, and the frustration reaches its peak. CONCART Hansen’s wing was recently suspended for three weeks as he complained about the standards of the referees in the match against Leinster in Dublin.
Scrum-Half Craig Casey’s serious knee injury when in the form of his career and suspension Ulster props Tom O’Toole are also shots, while late news is that Furlong is off before the match with England is also a very bad moment.
The main negative for Ireland, though, is their shape. Power and sharp brilliance 2023 have not long been shown and there is no doubt that the side enters into 2025 with something to prove.
