ANDY FARRELL SLAMS IRELAND’S LACK OF FIGHT IN 36-14 FRANCE DEFEAT
Ireland head coach Andy Farrell admitted his team lacked the "intent" needed to compete in their 36-14 Six Nations loss to France.
Andy Farrell didn’t sugarcoat it. France came out flying, sharp as ever, and it left him wondering if his Ireland team had enough fight in them at all. The Ireland head coach admitted France played at a “different level” for big stretches during their 36-14 bonus-point win in Paris.
Ireland showed up short-handed, and honestly, the way they got outclassed will have people worried. Louis Bielle-Biarrey picked up right where he left off last season—he bagged two tries, while Matthieu Jalibert and Charles Ollivon also crossed over. Ireland managed a late burst, with Nick Timoney and Michael Milne grabbing consolation tries, both converted by Sam Prendergast. But France wasn’t fazed. Theo Attissogbe finished things off, and Thomas Ramos kept the scoreboard ticking with a penalty and four conversions.
Farrell looked deflated when he spoke to Virgin Media after the game. “France were playing a different game to us in the first half,” he said. “You make your own luck, and they did that—no complaints. We tried to work something from scraps and high balls, but that’s rugby. You’ve got to show some fight and intent, and we didn’t. That’s tough to take.”
Ireland hadn’t been back to the Stade de France since their gutting World Cup exit to New Zealand. The rain didn’t help things—slippery ball, missed tackles everywhere. Farrell wasn’t happy. “It’s about intent,” he said. “Yeah, it was wet, but you still need to get through tackles and earn the right to offload. France wasn’t taking risks. They just kept winning contact, and that’s how they got their offloads away. Congrats to them. They deserved it.”
Ireland did wake up a bit after halftime, but by then, the damage was done. Farrell saw some positives in the second half, but he admitted the real issue was attitude, not just personnel. “It’s not rocket science. Go forward, dig in, and fight for every inch. We got a couple of tries from that, but we needed more. Every point matters in this tournament.”
Captain Caelan Doris didn’t hold back either. “Definitely not the start we wanted,” he said. “We made it too hard for ourselves in the first half—just didn’t have enough bite. France showed real class, but we weren’t good enough. We let them play their game. Poor collisions; kick-chase wasn’t there.”
On those 19 missed tackles in the first half? Doris shook his head. “It wasn’t just the missed tackles. We let them offload way too much. We’d talked about needing dominant tackles because they’re so dangerous when they get their hands free. And we just let them do it.”
Doris tried to find a silver lining. “The bench made an impact, and we showed some fight in the second half, but we can’t be a team that spends the whole game chasing. That’s on us—too passive, not connected, not physical enough. We let France play, and they took full advantage.”
Inside the dressing room, Farrell told the team to come back with real opinions and solutions. “We’re not starting from scratch. There are lessons to learn and some good stuff in the prep. We need to really dig in, figure this out, and react next week.”
GILBERT ARENAS RIPS LAKERS AFTER "DISAPPOINTING" LUKE KENNARD TRADE DEADLINE MOVE
Gilbert Arenas slams the Lakers' trade for Luke Kennard as JJ Redick prepares to unleash the 50% shooter in a new 2026 rotation.
On Thursday, February 5, the Lakers made a move and brought in Luke Kennard. He’s known for his shooting, and honestly, they need the extra floor spacing in JJ Redick’s rotation.
Right after the news broke, Gilbert Arenas didn’t hold back on social media. He sounded off about the trade, almost like he’d had enough.
“At this point, I’m just going to take matters into my own hands. Every hooper that can still hoop, we’re going to go down to Crypto Centre and just try out because at this point they’re allowing anybody on the team,” Arenas said. “What happened to the names? The names made the Lakers… He was a Clipper before! “Fuck him!”
Arenas probably wanted a bigger, flashier move at the deadline—he’s not alone. A lot of Lakers fans felt the same. Even so, Kennard does make the team better. The Lakers have been struggling from deep all year, and Kennard’s shooting should help.
After 50 games, the Lakers rank 21st in three-point percentage, hitting 34.9% on nearly 34 attempts a night. Kennard isn’t just a shooter, either. He can handle the ball a bit, maybe open up the offence with some playmaking, which the Lakers could use when the first option breaks down.
Redick seemed genuinely excited after the Lakers’ 119-115 win over the Sixers. At the postgame press conference, he talked about what Kennard brings.
“I’m excited about Luke,” Redick said. “I’ve known him for about 12 years now, and I think he’s one of the best shooters in the NBA. I’m going to highly encourage him to shoot more and not turn down shots.”
He went on: “One of the underrated parts of his game is his ability to move and create second actions—move the basketball. You’ve seen that at different spots he’s been. You can start the offence with off-ball movement, and he’ll make the right play. He gets the offence moving.”
Kennard played 46 games with the Hawks this season, averaging 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. He’s been lights out from three—almost 50% on 3.2 attempts per game. With Redick pushing him to shoot even more, expect that number to go up.
Now that the trade deadline has passed, the Lakers are looking at the buyout market. Haywood Highsmith’s name has come up as a possible target.
Edwin Garcia from Silver Screen and Roll sees Highsmith as a perfect fit. Highsmith had knee surgery after getting traded to the Nets last offseason, had a setback, and hasn’t played this year. The Nets just waived him Thursday morning, but he’s reportedly playing 5-on-5 again and drawing interest. Last season, he averaged 6.5 points and shot 38% from three with the Heat. Shooting like that doesn’t come around often in the buyout market, so if Highsmith’s healthy, he’s interesting.
Rob Pelinka will check out all the options, of course. But on paper, Highsmith could fill a lot of the three-and-d gaps the Lakers have right now.
AARON JONES PUBLICLY RECRUITS AARON RODGERS TO MINNESOTA VIKINGS FOR 2026
Aaron Jones is recruiting Aaron Rodgers to the Vikings, but with Minnesota’s cap issues, will the veteran RB even be there in 2026?
Aaron Jones isn’t hiding it—he’d love to play with Aaron Rodgers again. When someone asked him about Rodgers’ future, Jones just said, “I like him in Minnesota.” That’s straight from VikingzFanPage.
Let’s be real, Jones doesn’t sound too sold on J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings’ current quarterback. Last year, McCarthy threw more picks than touchdowns—12 interceptions to just 11 TDs. Not exactly inspiring confidence.
If you’re a Packers fan, you’ve seen a version of this before. Brett Favre left Green Bay and landed in Minnesota, and back then, that was a big deal. But with Rodgers, it just doesn’t feel the same. The idea of him in purple isn’t really scary.
Here’s the thing: Jones is probably trying to recruit Rodgers to a team he won’t even play for. The Vikings could save $8 million in cap space by cutting Jones, who’s 31 now. Minnesota’s strapped for cash—only one team has less cap space—so nobody should be shocked if they move on from him this offseason.
Even if by some twist Jones stays and Rodgers joins, don’t expect a magical Packers reunion in Minnesota. Rodgers just wrapped up a pretty average season with the Steelers—3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, seven picks, and a 94.8 passer rating. That’s a far cry from the MVP Rodgers we remember in Green Bay. Honestly, the Packers made the right call when they moved on.
With or without Rodgers, the Vikings are still the least threatening team in the NFC North for Green Bay. The Bears just won the division. The Lions are stacked. Even if Minnesota keeps Jones and somehow brings in Rodgers, it doesn’t change much for the Packers. At this stage in their careers, nobody’s losing sleep over it.
If Rodgers ever comes back to the NFC North, it should only be for a one-day deal so he can retire as a Packer. He brought so much to Green Bay, including that Super Bowl win in 2010. Seeing him in another NFC North jersey? Just wrong.
But if Jones gets his wish and Rodgers ends up in Minnesota, the Packers shouldn’t even flinch. Rodgers and Jones aren’t what they used to be. Their joining forces in Minnesota would just feel desperate, nothing more.
