Ireland v Wales Live: Updates, kick-off time and TV channel

Round three of the 2024 Six Nations is upon us, and Wales face their most difficult task yet against Ireland.

Warren Gatland's side have lost their opening two matches against Scotland and England, albeit by a combined total of just three points, but they face a very different opposition this afternoon. Bookies, pundits and fans are all predicting a comfortable home victory, but Warren Gatland believes his side have a chance against the Grand Slam champions.

Wales have made just one change to the starting XV, with Sam Costelow starting at outside-half, while Mackenzie Martin will make his debut from the bench.

The game kicks off at 2.15pm and is on ITV 1 today. You can follow live updates below.
