Here is our helpful guide on how to watch Wales Vs Ireland in this year’s Guinness Six Nations – including TV channel and live stream information.
The Six Nations returns this weekend after a fallow week, with reigning champions Ireland heading to Cardiff to take on a Wales team in crisis.
Ireland have so far beaten England 27-22 in Dublin, before overpowering Scotland 32-18 in Edinburgh last time out.
They sit at the top of the table and are the only unbeaten side in the tournament.
Wales, meanwhile, were thumped 43-0 by France on the opening weekend, before losing 22-15 in Rome against Italy.
With 14 straight test match defeats, head coach Warren Gatland has left his role midway through the Six Nations.
Cardiff Blues boss Matt Sherratt has been appointed interim Wales head coach.
The odds are therefore stacked firmly against Wales for this one.
The best UK rugby betting sites have Wales at a whopping 25/1, while Ireland are firm favourites at 1/41.
