George North urges Wales to go toe to toe with Ireland

George North says that Wales must go "toe to toe" with Ireland in their quest for victory over the world's top team on Saturday.

An intriguing Guinness Six Nations opener sees Wales, with Warren Gatland back as head coach, targeting an immediate statement against the tournament favourites.

Gatland will send out a team containing more than 900 caps, including three Test centurions in North, Dan Biggar and Alun Wyn Jones, for what could be a Principality Stadium blockbuster.

Ireland have lost their last four Six Nations games in Cardiff, but they arrive as the world-ranked number one side following sustained success during the past 12 months.
