24-year-old Irish rugby player Ryan Baird credits mother's motivational words for appreciating Ireland's Six Nations victories.

24-year-old Irish rugby player Ryan Baird has expressed gratitude for the motivational words from his mother that helped him appreciate Ireland's recent Six Nations victory. Struggling to enjoy last year's triumph due to his focus on his own performance, his mother framed his jersey alongside Maro Itoje's jersey from last year's game, reminding him of the team's hard work. Baird has won back-to-back Six Nations titles with Ireland and is now looking forward to future matches against top southern hemisphere teams.
