The Lo Down - Six Nations Ireland v England

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Ireland had a big match today against England, the latter already won the Six Nations but they were on a winning game with 19 games won so Ireland were trying to knock them off their pedestal. There is always good banter and great atmosphere when these two teams clash and today was no different.

I really wanted to go to this match, of course I couldn't get tickets but there's always next year. Ireland had such a great game and they worked so well as a team, it was end to end stuff. The match took place at the Aviva Stadium in Lansdowne Roads, our fortress where we always expect amazing results and usually get them aswell.

Ireland went on to win the match 13-9 with a try which followed with the conversion and two penalties from Jonathan Sexton. Ireland stopped England record 20 game winning streak in its tracks. With Patrick's Day and this I have to say this is a weekend where I'm so so proud to be Irish. We produce some world class players and that was evident today if you saw the match. After alot of are good players retired some people thought that was it for Ireland but lots of new and exciting players have made it through the ranks and have made watching rugby enjoyable. Peter O'Mahony went on to receive Man of the Match which was well deserved as he had an incredible day.

We may not have won the Six Nations but the Ireland team definitely redeemed themselves after their last game which was a defeat against Wales. I'm looking forward to seeing Ireland in action in more upcoming rugby matches.

The Lo Down - My Love of Rugby/Six Nations Ireland v Italy 2017

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I'm a huge Rugby fan ever since I was younger. I know I'm first and foremost a beauty blogger but I'm big into Sports for ages since I was a child. I watch just about anything, with Rugby being my favourite Sport. I've always watched Rugby matches on T.V or gone to Leinster matches with my Daddio. He used to play rugby in his hayday and I like nothing more than sitting down with my Dad and giving our own commentary throughout a match. It's even better at live matches the atmosphere is unreal and I'm really looking forward to catching another one very soon. I even forked out alot of money at one of the games to get a hat that covers my ears I wear it all the time and it's so warm, definitely worth the money.

Excuse the Christmas Jumper I was so cold today plus I have a cold!!

I watched the match last week against Scotland and I have to say it was a big disappointment it would be mean to single out one player in particular I think but all round it wasn't a great team performance and they lost by a narrow margin. The match today was against Italy and we usually get a good result and do well against them.

Now for the match itself, it was end to end stuff in the first half and there wasn't really a dull moment.  Keith Earls opened up the game with a try in the first few minutes of the game. From the start of the match it was a great team game which was great to see. There was a double hat trick from Craig Gilroy and CJ Stander which was amazing for Ireland. The match end 10-63 an astounding result and I say the atmosphere was unreal and I say the Ireland supporters were lifting the roof off the stadium as they usually do. I can't wait to watch the Ireland v France match next weekend in the Aviva it's sure to be a big one after today's match. Seeing as Ireland got two bonus points today they have alot to play for aswell.
