2026 LOI Season Start Date

The 2026 LOI Season is due to kick-off on Friday February 6th. That is the same weekend as the 6 Nations rugby.
France v Ireland is on Thursday 5th and the other games are on Saturday 7th, all on TV.

Should the start date for the league be changed!
:confused:

I’d genuinely be interested to hear your logic on this one as it’s a completely ridiculous suggestion.

The rugby games being played in Italy, France and England are the day before or after the Friday night's opening day league fixtures. Seen as the 6 nations rugby will be on every weekend up to March, are you suggesting we postpone the league start until it finishes incase people would rather not attend a league of Ireland match so that they can watch a rugby match the day after?
