We're here. It may have felt like we'd never be optimistic again but all it takes is the launch of the Six Nations and the World Cup failure and the provincial struggles can be swept under the rug for a couple of months at least.
Joe Schmidt and Rory Best are in attendance at the Hurlingham Club in London as the coaches and captains of each of the Six Nations teams face the media to discuss the upcoming campaign. We can expect gritty steel from Eddie Jones and England, we can expect sarcastic mind games from Warren Gatland and we can expect Joe Schmidt to give absolutely nothing away.
It should be great craic altogether. You can watch the full press conference below, live from London with the broadcast due to start at 9.30.
