"Leinster's win over Munster, and Ulster's victory at Connacht have supplied more questions than answers as Six Nations looms With no Irish derbies on St Stephen's Day, I was allowed to have uninterrupted viewing of some quality national hunt racing at Leopardstown but also the two Welsh derbies in the URC. It was great to see Welsh rugby stadiums packed for a change and the Ospreys and Cardiff won two physical but error-strewn affairs."

Leinster defeated Munster while Ulster won at Connacht, outcomes that have generated uncertainty heading into the Six Nations. No Irish derbies occurred on St Stephen's Day, allowing uninterrupted viewing of national hunt racing at Leopardstown and two Welsh derbies in the URC. Welsh rugby stadiums were notably packed, reflecting strong local interest. The Ospreys and Cardiff secured victories in matches described as physical but error-strewn, suggesting both intensity and inconsistency across those fixtures. The results raise tactical and selection questions for teams preparing for the upcoming international competition.
