The Ireland Arrows team achieved a historic victory over England, marking their first-ever win against them in the competition held in Coventry, England. This win is particularly significant as England had not lost in four years, showcasing the strength of the Irish team, which included four players from Wexford: John Murphy, Billy O’Brien, Tom Kent, and Ger Foxe. In the United Rugby Championship, Leinster and Munster have announced strong line-ups filled with Irish internationals ahead of their matches against South African teams. Leinster, featuring Robbie Henshaw for the first time this season, will face the Emirates Lions, while Munster will compete against the Sharks in Durban, with notable players such as Calvin Nash and Tadhg Beirne in their squad. Caelan Doris, recently named Ireland captain, leads Leinster, while Munster's lineup includes several changes to bounce back from a previous defeat. Both matches are crucial as teams prepare for the upcoming Autumn Nations Series.
