RUGBY, SIX NATIONS, IRELAND IN HISTORIC VICTORY AGAINST ENGLAND

With all the hoopla about the Olympics---both the Men's and Women's Hockey victories in particular---followed by the State of the Union---and other local happenings---we almost forgot how much we love Rugby! And the Six Nations. 

Ireland has achieved a historic victory in the Six Nations against England, with a record points total of 42-21. This match took place at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on February 21, 2026. Ireland's performance was marked by a first-half blitz that put them ahead 22-0, with key tries from Jamison Gibson-Park, Rob Baloucoune, and Tommy O'Brien. The match was a complete outplay by Ireland, who managed to control the contest from the start and maintained their lead throughout. England's attempts to recover were met with a series of errors, including kicking and set-piece failures, which allowed Ireland to secure the win. This victory is a significant achievement for Ireland, as it marks their highest-ever points tally and margin of victory in the Six Nations
