Peter Stringer: Ireland v England is a massive Six Nations opener

The former Ireland scrum half looks ahead to the crucial opening match of the Six Nations and discusses Ireland’s chances of winning a third straight championship.

Peter Stringer believes whichever team loses the opening game of the Six Nations between Ireland and England will leave themselves a mountain to climb.

Ireland are the favourites in the Six Nations betting after lifting the trophy in each of the past two years, but they begin this year’s championship against the team that denied them a Grand Slam in 2024.

In our exclusive interview, Stringer also discusses who will start at No. 10 for Ireland, the impact of coach Andy Farrell’s absence and his own personal highlights of a career wearing the green jersey.

Who would you select as Ireland’s starting No.10 against England and why?

I suppose it’s the big debate of the moment, isn’t it? I’ve been super impressed with Jack Crowley, even if he had a few ups and downs in recent games. I love the way he’s recovered and how he has bounced back.

Behind a monster pack and a team that haven’t necessarily been performing, he showed real grit, determination and a strength of character to come back.
