Cian Healy, Ireland’s most-capped rugby player, is one of three stalwarts to announce their retirement from international duty after the Six Nations.

Rugby fans in the UK are once again among the luckiest in the world, with all matches of the 2025 Six Nations set to be shown live on free-to-air networks BBC and ITV. This means viewers in the UK will be able to stream every game for free on ITVX. and BBC iPlayer. This match will be shown live on BBC 1, with coverage starting at 1:15 p.m. GMT.

Ireland remain on course for a Grand Slam and a third successive title, having won their opening two matches under interim head coach Simon Easterby. A run of 14 defeats saw Wales part company with Gatland and with three games to go, they’ll be desperate to avoid a second successive Six Nations wooden spoon.

Cork sporting legend Peter O'Mahony will be retiring from international rugby after the Six Nations, he has confirmed. The former Ireland captain is one of three rugby stars who will be hanging up their boots after the final match against Italy next month.
