Josh Van Der Flier believes he has become a marked man since being crowned world player of the year as he seeks to celebrate his 50th Ireland cap with Grand Slam glory.

Flanker Van Der Flier swept the global individual prize on the back of a stellar 2022 and has continued his fine form to help put his country on the brink of a Guinness Six Nations clean sweep.

The 29-year-old will make a milestone Test appearance in Saturday’s Dublin showdown with England and feels his recent elevation has led to greater on-field attention.

Paris-Saint Germain 0-1 Wolfsburg: Dominique Janssen penalty and red card drama gives Tommy Stroot’s side first leg lead

Wolfsburg will take a 1-0 advantage into the second leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final. A cagey first leg at the Parc des Princes was decided by huge penalty drama early in the second half, when PSG had a spot-kick appeal overruled and Wolfsburg were given one of their own. Ad Elisa de Almedia was sent off for a second yellow in the incident for PSG whilst Dominique Janssen slotted the ball into the back of the net, which was all that could separate the two sides going into next week.

Why flawless Ireland’s grand slam is merely a piece of the World Cup puzzle

As Ireland shuffled their unwelcome guests out of the door, the celebrations could properly begin. For England’s players it felt strikingly familiar – as in Paris 12 months ago on, left to watch through the windows, without an invite to the hottest party in town. The Six Nations grand slam may have been harder won than expected, in the end, but no-one could dispute that Ireland’s triumph was richly deserved.

‘Hard yards and tough calls’ await England to become a force again

R arely have Ireland and England approached the final day of a Six Nations championship with such wildly contrasting expectations. For Irish rugby these are truly the best of times. For their white-shirted cousins another winter of despair is playing out. It is hard not to see it as a cautionary Dickensian tale of two unions, reaping the results of their respective eras of wisdom and foolishness.
