Ireland v Wales Six Nations Live: Kick-off time, TV channel and latest match updates

Ireland v Wales opens the 2022 Six Nations in Dublin as Wayne Pivac's side begin the defence of their crown.

Despite being defending champions, a host of injuries combined with Ireland's stunning autumn form has seen Wales completely written off by most pundits and fans.

But they still field a side packed with talent, particularly in a backline that has the potential to cause serious damage.

Ireland look formidable, with their Leinster-dominated team one of the favourites for the Championship.
