As Preparations are underway for Ireland’s first game of the Six Nations when they take on England in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium on the south side of the city.
There’s news coming out now that Wexford native Tadgh Furlong is set to miss the opening match, it’s a massive blow for Ireland as the 33 year old is a world class tight-head prop.

Not good against that English pack. Belham had a very poor Autumn by his standards.
Can’t help but feel he’s been playing with an injury for the past few years when he does play
No surprise there seems like he is always not available and when he is only good for 40 mins, and disappears againFell off a bar stool in the old town apparently
