"Ireland captain Caelan Doris says he needs to lead an improved team discipline and has backed Sam Prendergast's selection at out-half for their opening game of the 2026 Six Nations against France at the Stade de France on Thursday night (8.10pm Irish time)."
"The Irish team's discipline has nose-dived with their last game in November against a more powerful South Africa team, resulting in one 20-minute red card and four yellow cards for Andy Farrell's team. Bundee Aki's suspension last week was the latest incident of ill-discipline in Irish rugby."
Caelan Doris says he must lead an improvement in team discipline and has backed Sam Prendergast's selection at out-half for Ireland's 2026 Six Nations opener against France at the Stade de France. The Irish team's discipline declined markedly after the November match versus South Africa, which produced a 20-minute red card and four yellow cards for Andy Farrell's side. Bundee Aki's suspension last week represents the latest episode of ill-discipline in Irish rugby. Ireland face France on Thursday night at 8.10pm Irish time with discipline and Prendergast's performance under scrutiny.
