Fryday backs Ireland's decision to swap shorts colour
The move has been made following feedback from players about competing in white rugby kit during their period. Ireland are the first Home Nation to move away from white shorts and will take to the field for their TikTok Women’s Six Nations opener against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in green and navy. Six Nations Rugby, the official organising body responsible for the TikTok Women’s Six Nations, broke all fan engagement records in 2022 and highlighted its commitment to giving the women’s game the best possible platform to grow. Greg McWilliams' side finished fourth last time out, but Fryday is hoping to see signs of improvement after a successful summer tour of Japan.

Pete the Vet: Why is my dog behaving badly and how do I fix it?
This wave of difficult dog behaviour has been caused by a perfect storm of several factors. It’s easy to create excuses: lack of time, lack of money, unavailability of resources such as dog trainers. The ideal answer is to engage with a qualified, experienced dog trainer or behaviourist who uses reward based dog training methods. Examples include:Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland http://apdt.ie/Institute of Modern Dog Trainers imdt.uk.comAssociation for the Study of Animal Behaviour https://www.asab.org/ccabFor those unable to afford the cost of professional behavioural help, it can be worth considering online assistance. You pay a small monthly subscription for a host of video courses combined with one-on-one instructional videos with experienced and skilled dog trainers.

I want to shield some cash from tax, but it exceeds the Isa allowance. What are my options?
I know I want to put most of it in a stocks and shares Isa but it's more than the current £20,000 allowance. A stocks and shares Isa is a great way to protect this money from tax, but as you say the current Isa allowance is £20,000 per year. While you can have more than one stocks and shares ISA, you can only contribute money to one Stocks and Shares ISA each tax year. > Read our full guide to stocks and shares IsasThis means you could open a new stocks and shares Isa each year. Of course, you will soon have a new Isa allowance you can take up in a few weeks, from 6 April.

On this day in 2017: Ireland end England’s world-record winning run
The Dublin defeat ended England’s bid for a second straight Grand Slam in the Six Nations. Ireland overwhelmed England with their intensity and physicality as Iain Henderson’s first-half try proved decisive. “I take full responsibility, I didn’t prepare the team well and we will respond in the future. One or two things go your way and the game flips, they didn’t go our way today. England’s winning run of 18 Tests had matched the world record held by New Zealand.

Owen Farrell ready to upset family loyalties against Ireland
The personal circumstances of the Farrell family is a major subplot going into Saturday’s sold-out Dublin showdown, with the hosts odds-on favourites to complete a Guinness Six Nations clean sweep. “It’s probably a bit more weird for the family that’s supporting, especially my mum. Both boys own England and Ireland shirts but Owen expects them to be sporting the former this weekend. “We’re looking to take a step forward, we’re going to play the best we can and we’re looking forward to it. “We’ve no doubt we’re better than that and we’re looking forward to the game.

Parent company of Silicon Valley Bank files for bankruptcy
Parent company of Silicon Valley Bank files for bankruptcyBy Michelle Chapman, Associated PressThe parent company of Silicon Valley Bank filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday, a week after the tech-focused bank failed in a sudden collapse that set off fears of wider problems in the global banking system. The filing from SVB Financial Group was widely expected, with much of the company now under the control of banking regulators. SVB Financial Group is no longer affiliated with Silicon Valley Bank after the bank was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The bank’s successor, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, was not included in the Chapter 11 filing. SVB Financial Group believes it has approximately 2.2 billion dollars (£1.81 billion) of liquidity.

Understanding St John Paul II’s teachings on life and sexuality
Understanding St John Paul II’s teachings on life and sexualityThe Theology of the Body (TOB) is the profound teachings of St John Paul II on life, love, and sexuality. KUALA LUMPUR: The Theology of the Body (TOB) is the profound teachings of St John Paul II on life, love, and sexuality. Theologians, writers, and others then invested many years unpacking St John Paul II’s deep insights on creation and what it means to be human. Participants, young and not so young, were both amazed and touched by these liberating teachings of St John Paul II on life and sexuality. The Family Life ministry feels these profound teachings of TOB need to be further developed and fully understood through follow-up sessions, to be organised later in the year.

Missionary Work: Praying for the Living and the Dead
Missionary Work: Praying for the Living and the DeadLent, as we know, is a period of penitential preparation for Easter. Other than praying and fasting, missionary works are highly encouraged amongst Christians in the weeks leading up to Easter. For the second week, (March 5), the Youth Ministry chose to visit the Catholic graveyard in Tampin to ‘Pray for the Living and the Dead’. Praying for the living and the dead is one of the simplest but most forgotten works of mercy. This missionary work not only builds our faith in the Lord but also strengthens our morals and virtues.
