ITALY THUMPED WALES 44-12 in Parma on Sunday to condemn the visitors to the wooden spoon for the second year running in the women's Six Nations.

But the Italians turned the screw in the second-half as Francesca Granzotto, Silvia Turani, Vittoria Minuzzi and Aura Muzzo all crossed for tries, with Michela Sillari kicking 14 points.
It was a first home win for Italy in two years and a record victory over Wales, who lost all five games for the first time in their history.
The Welsh women's wooden spoon added to the men's side also finishing bottom in their tournament completes a miserable 2025 Six Nations for Wales.
Italy finished fourth in the table, behind third-placed Ireland but above Scotland in fifth.
England survived a sparkling French comeback to win the women's Six Nations rugby union decider 43-42 at Twickenham on Saturday.

Leaving Cert Diary: History and French are finished for the class of 2025
In this entry to our Leaving Cert Diary, our contributors look back on Leaving Cert French and History. With thanks to our friends at the Irish Second-Level Students' Union (ISSU), two of their members, Chelsea who is based in Mayo and Dublin student Isabelle took the time to tell us how it went today. As the exams stretch out for some students, make sure to check out these top tips for minding yourself. Une petite aventure Française. This morning, I sat the French Ordinary Level paper- and honestly, it went better than I expected. The reading comprehensions were interesting. One was about fashion, and the other followed a teen on holiday with his uncle. Most texts were manageable, though there was one I found slightly tricky - but nothing too overwhelming. The usual "fill in the blanks" and form section made its return, but it wasn't too bad. The form was on sport, which was a nice topic and overall, not so challenging. There were also good options: a formal letter, a diary, a message and a postcard. The prompts were creative and allowed plenty of room to express yourself. The listening paper was also fair. Each question brought something different, and most of it was straightforward. The last part - the news items - was a little tougher, but still manageable. Overall, it felt like a balanced and well-structured paper with lots of familiar content. For the Class of 2026: stay on top of your vocab and try a few past papers before the real thing. It really helps you to feel more confident and prepared. C'est fini! Au revoir, French paper - on to the next one! How was history for Isabelle? Well, the day we have all been waiting for has come. And now the past 2 years of studying have become history. Time is never on One's side in Leaving Cert History: 2 hours and 50 minutes is a tight space of time to analyse two documents and write just over 3 lengthy essays. I had to have my watch set 5 minutes ahead just to have the smallest hope in finishing in time! It was hard with the exam being in the afternoon, I was fighting sleep as I wrote and wrote and wrote. The Documents Based Question (DBQ), while highly predicted to have been the Nuremberg rallies, turned out to be the Jarrow March. I liked how completely different the documents were as I was able to make quick, sharp comparisons. I answered two questions from Ireland Topic 3: The Pursuit of Sovereignty and the Impact of Partition, and one from the United States and Wider world. In both the DBQ and main essays the questions were wildly different to how they have been in past years. Gone are the questions directly relating to the case studies; now we are seeing the case studies masquerading behind other aspects of the topic, proving to be a wild curveball for many of us. Founded in 2008, the ISSU is the national representative body for school students in the Republic of Ireland. The ISSU is led by students, for students.

Edel McMahon: 'We want to be heading to London' at RWC
Ireland co-captain Edel McMahon says the finals weekend is their target, as their preparations begin for the Rugby World Cup later this year. The Ireland squad are in their second week of pre-season training ahead of the World Cup, with their Pool C opener against Japan in just over 10 weeks, on Sunday 24 August, and the first of two warm-up games on 2 August against Scotland. Ireland face Japan, Spain and defending champions New Zealand in the pool, and should they progress, they'll take on one of France, Italy, South Africa or Brazil in the quarter-finals. Northampton and Brighton will be the venues for Ireland in the pool stage, with Bristol and Exeter the two potential locations in the quarters and semis. But with Twickenham set to host both the final and third-place play-off, McMahon says making it to the final weekend of the tournament is their North Star. "We want to be on the road to Twickenham. We want to be heading to London," she told the RTE Rugby podcast. "I think every team that goes to a World Cup wants to try and achieve that and I definitely think that squad is certainly capable of that. "We've said openly as a squad that we want to be heading to Twickenham." Having finished with third in the Guinness Women's Six Nations earlier this year, Ireland's World Cup preparations hit a bump with the surprise departure of defence coach Hugh Hogan. The former Leinster and Scarlets assistant has been in place since last summer, and has been replaced in the group by former England U20 and Coventry coach James Scaysbrook, a former team-mate of head coach Scott Bemand at Bath. "Obviously, we have a lot of respect for Hugh and wish him well," McMahon added. "As a squad, we really valued the input he gave to us. "With James coming in, it's trying to get that continuity. We had a very good sit-down with James to talk about what his principles are, and what he's looking to bring in, to bring his stamp in on the squad, but also keep some principles the same, and where he thinks he can develop and push our defence even further. "He's got a couple of cool ideas that I think the squad are looking forward to doing. "It's been a work in progress, getting to know him. He actually shares a very similar pattern in many ways to the way we're playing as a squad. "He's done a lot of work over the breakdown with the back rows and centres today, so I'm really looking forward to seeing his passion filter through the squad." Ireland had been on track for their best Six Nations since 2020 before their final round defeat to Scotland at The Hive, losing 26-19 following a Francesca McGhie try with the final play of the game. Comprehensive wins against Italy and Wales ensured Ireland still finished in the top half of the table, while they also put in encouraging performances in defeat to France and England. Back row Brittany Hogan joined McMahon on the RTÉ Rugby podcast, and believes that game is a cautionary take for them as they turn towards the World Cup. "I don't know if it was complacency within the squad, Scotland were just really up to that game, and full credit to them. They performed exceptionally on the day," Hogan (below) said. "It was just one of those days you can learn from, but we're still pretty confident after it." Having shocked the world last September with a famous win against New Zealand in WXV, Hogan says this Irish team are no longer being treated like minnows. "We have been considered underdogs in the past and people wouldn't respect us or wouldn't know exactly the style we play in defence or attack, our tactics. "Even at the start, when Scott came in, people didn't realise how good our team was. Once we started believing in each other, once we developed a good culture off the field that wanted to work hard for each other on the field, our tactics married up and it got some performances on the pitch that we were very proud of. "That takes away the element of surprise and I suppose in the Six Nations, we did come away disappointed afterwards. Because we were so successful in WXV and the way we were growing, and the trajectory we were going on, our goal was to achieve that one place higher, to beat Scotland at the end. "We can't fault what we did, the glimpses of excellence that we had, we were so close to beating France, who we might meat in the World Cup, which is really important for us, to know we could beat them. "That just gives us that confidence. Yes, OK, they beat us, but we're still confident that if we met them in the World Cup, we would be able to do a job. "The first 50 minutes against England, if that doesn't give you confidence, I don't know what would. We really held it up too those two teams."
