Unsurprisingly, Ireland don’t feature much in this montage of the best moments of the tournament. Of course that Zebo flick features, along with the Vincent Debaty run, a monster kick from Stuart Hogg and that Vincent Clerc volley. »

Brian O’Driscoll has been banned for three weeks after he was cited for a stamp on Italy’s Simone Favaro during Saturday’s Six Nations game. O’Driscoll received a yellow card for the stamp in the 29th minute of the game. The ban means he will miss Leinster’s RaboDirect Pro 12 games against Glasgow and Ulster along with their Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final against W... »
A disappointing Six Nations from an Irish perspective but at least there were some memorable GIFs to take away from it. Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »

One of the great sights in rugby, a prop making a break. France’s Vincent Debaty heads for the line during their win against Scotland on Saturday night. As Brent Pope pointed out in his analysis, he’s just looking to get tackled in the end. Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »
Just three Irish players make the RTÉ panel’s Lions starting XV. They start Cian Healy at loosehead, Sean O’Brien at blindside and Brian O’Driscoll at inside-centre. The team was picked based on who is fit at the moment, so that meant no place for Jonny Sexton at out-half. Rob Kearney also missed out at fullback. George Hook chose the front five, Brent Pope chose the back row and... »
A brilliant moment from Vincent Clerc as he keeps a Freddie Michalak cross kick in play with a volley back infield towards an oncoming runner. Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »
A magnificent performance by Wales vs England. Man of the match award must go to ref Steve Walsh though, as he kept Mike Brown talking just long enough so this GIF could happen. Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »
Wales just beat England 30-3 to clinch the 2013 Six Nations championship. Can you spot the Welshman on the BBC panel? Hopefully Jonathon Davies was sticking it to them off screen too. h/t Robin Flavell Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »
Wales and England Six Nations Title!! Who’s gonna take it ?? Doesn’t get any better than this? — David Hasselhoff (@DavidHasselhoff) March 13, 2013 The Hoff is a rugby fan. Who would’ve thunk it? He does have a Welsh girlfriend though, so that might go some way towards explaining his affection for the oval ball game. H/T Art McCarrick »
A brilliant rolling maul from Ireland has the French scrambling backwards The maul works well again for Ireland, culminating in a Jamie Heaslip try. Rugby on Balls.ie brought to you by the O2 Online Shop »
We all knew it was coming. Having to watch Ronan O’Gara’s steady decline over the few couple of months has been difficult to stomach. The fact is, O’Gara should never have been in the Six Nations squad to begin with. O’Gara is an Irish legend in his own right, but the majority of rugby fans knew that this was simply one tournament too far. In many ways, you could argue that... »
1. Abject Ireland Lose Two on the Bounce In what was a wretched game of rugby as a spectacle, a poor Scotland side outscored a poorer Ireland at Murrayfield on Sunday afternoon. The second consecutive defeat for Ireland leaves their hopes of claiming the Six Nations Championship in tatters. Once again Ireland failed to show any variation in their game plan, with the lack of lack of a Plan B blatan... »
