Not what we had hoped for.

Optimism in Irish men's rugby is the lowest it's been since the first year of Andy Farrell's reign.

Ireland's Autumn Nations Series campaign was an overall disappointment, and the World Cup is less than two years away, with Ireland struggling to replace an ageing squad.

While Ulster are enjoying a hugely improved campaign, Munster are out of the Champions Cup, Leinster are scraping wins against much weaker opposition, and Connacht have not had the 'new-manager bounce' people predicted when Stuart Lancaster took over.

In an effort to create some feel-good vibes, we asked Chat GPT to predict the results of the upcoming Six Nations Championship.

Unfortunately, Chat did not have much sympathy for our plight and called it as it is.

Six Nations Round 1 — 5 & 7 Feb

France vs IrelandFrance win
France are defending champions and expected to be strong at home; Ireland are competitive but this is a tough opener for them.

Italy vs ScotlandScotland win
Scotland historically beat Italy more often and are generally stronger.

England vs WalesEngland win
England at Twickenham vs a Wales team missing key players gives England the edge.

Six Nations Round 2 — 14 & 15 Feb

Ireland vs ItalyIreland win
Ireland should control this at home.

Scotland vs EnglandEngland win
A tight game, but England’s experience likely sees them through.

Wales vs FranceFrance win
France are strong favourites and Wales may struggle without full strength.

Six Nations Round 3 — 21 & 22 Feb

Huge game; at Twickenham England should edge it in a tight contest.

Scotland likely stronger than Wales at this stage.

France should handle Italy comfortably.

Six NationsRound 4 — 6 & 7 Mar

Ireland vs WalesIreland win
Ireland should beat Wales at home.

Another likely England victory in Rome.

Six Nations Round 5 — 14 Mar (Super Saturday)

Ireland vs ScotlandIreland win
Ireland will want to finish strong; Scotland are in a tough season.

Wales vs ItalyWales win
Wales back at home against Italy is a closer game, but Wales likely take it.

“Le Crunch” could decide the title — at home France are favoured.
