With Ireland’s “Golden Generation” slowly passing its peak after a disappointing World Cup and their failure to win the Six Nations Championship despite three Triple Crowns in the past 4 years, Eddie O’Sullivan’s job is on the line and a disappointing tournament this time around will almost certainly spell the end of his tenure as coach. Starting out at home to Italy should be an opportunity to get a win on the board, followed by a tough trip to Paris. Scotland come to Croke Park next and may spring an upset after a close contest at Murrayfield last year. Wales at home will give an indication of the hunger of the side, before a trip to Twickenham might be a match too far. With only two wins, it looks like another unsuccessful tournament for the Irish.
Predicted finish – 4th
