Progressive Ireland, Welsh car crash, French defence, Super Bowl

Given all the pre-match pessimism, Ireland's draw with Wales left many people feeling pretty positive about our chances of winning a third championship in a row. Six Nations legend Shane Horgan and Gerry Thornley poke through the embers of a scintillating game. We ask Don Van Natta Jnr of ESPN if the Peyton Manning (2016 vintage) is the worst ever quarter-back to win the Super Bowl. There's also Martin O'Neill's barnstorming performance on the BBC's NFL coverage, Sergio Parisse's lust for glory, Jamie Roberts' lust for punishment and details on our live show in Dublin later this month - we want you to meet Ajax, Barcelona and Holland legend Patrick Kluivert!
