Six Nations title winners in 2024, Ireland's form has suffered of late and they are under pressure to perform heading into 2025. Ireland are off the back of an inconsistent 2024 on the whole. Following the disappointment of the Rugby World Cup in 2023, they started magnificently with a stunning 38-17 Six Nations victory over France in Marseille but were denied the chance for historic back-to-back Grand Slams after late defeat to England at Twickenham in Round 4.
Some key men have also returned from injury just in time for the start of the Six Nations in Sheehan and James Lowe - Sheehan, in particular, had a genuine argument he was the form player in the world in his position, and all in Ireland will hope he returns from a serious knee injury with no issues. Tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong was another key player to make it back, only to suffer a reoccurrence of his calf injury in Ireland camp.
