The Last Word teamed up with Guinness to host five AREA 22 supporter events across the country over the course of the RBS Six Nations Tournament.  Alongside regular panelists Paul Wallace, Frankie Sheahan, Liam Toland and Neil Francis, Matt was joined at each event by special guests including Eric Elwood, Leinster legends Shane Horgan and Shane Byrne.  

Each week the panel looked back on Ireland's campaign to date and anticipated that week's big fixture.  The first half hour of the event (6.30pm – 7pm) was broadcast live on The Last Word on Today FM with the evening also streamed live on this page until 8pm.
