This would be unreal for rugby

Grateful for all you've given us in green, Lowey. 💚

[Jim Hamilton @jimhamilton4]

Between Finn Russell and Quade Cooper for the greatest passer of all time. Some of these below are absolutely ridiculous.

[Bernard Jackman @bernardjackman]

Fresh appointment by @connachtrugby . Trevor Woodman is a great man and has built up serious experience in the game.

Northampton Saints have now won more league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than Tottenham have in 2026 😇

‘Steve, I know you manage the ITV football socials but can you cover the rugby socials tonight, please?’

4 years, 8 months and 10 days 🌹

✨ @MarcuSmith10 equals George Ford as the fastest ever player to reach 50 caps in an England jersey.

The best match in Six Nations history?

[OptaJonny @OptaJonny]

4 - Louis Bielle-Biarrey is the second player to score 4 tries in a #M6N match (also Chris Ashton v 🇮🇹, 2011); he's finished this year's Championship with 9 tries, the most of anyone in a single edition, and has become France's top tryscorer in the Six Nations era (18). Superb.

[Neil Treacy @neil_treacy]

To sum up this Six Nations...

Scotland beat France, who beat Ireland, who beat England, who beat Wales, who beat Italy.

[OptaJonny @OptaJonny]

109 - There have now been 109 tries scored in this year's Men's Six Nations, the most in a single edition of the Championship, overtaking last year's tally of 108. Entertainment.

[Russ Petty @rpetty80]

Ireland 227 tackles v Scotland, their most in last 15 years - using Opta

[ITV Rugby @ITVRugby]

Save it. Frame it. Hang it. 🖼️

This is what it means 🇮🇹

[EK Rugby Analysis @ek_rugby]

Brilliant breakaway try from Italy! Menoncello is a freak.

[OptaJonny @OptaJonny]

100 - Last weekend Antoine Dupont became the eighth player to record 100 defenders beaten in @SixNationsRugby history, overtaking @FranceRugby team mates Gaël Fickou (102) and Damian Penaud (103), who reached the milestone in 2024 and 2025 respectively. Centurions.

[Ulster Rugby @UlsterRugby]

Doing us proud 🙌

[Murray Kinsella @Murray_Kinsella]

Another masterclass in midfield play from Stuart McCloskey today.

Ireland's top carrier with 15, among the top tacklers. Deft passes throughout and his offloading has become a game-changer for Ireland.

And that track-back tackle on Marcus Smith!

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Ireland have now won as many Six Nations matches at Twickenham as the four other nations combined!

[Ramsey Cardy @ramseycardy]

Tough week to be a Royal

[Richie Allen @Richie_Allen]

Nick Timoney has done more in 10mins than the whole of Ireland's back row in the first half.

A player who should have x2 or x3 more caps.

Disgraceful how good he is, yet has never got a shot.
