Wales v Ireland Live: Women's Six Nations kick-off time, TV channel and score updates

Wales kick off their Women's Six Nations campaign against Ireland at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday afternoon (2.15pm kick-off, live on BBC One Wales and iPlayer).

Head coach Ioan Cunningham has hailed this campaign as a new beginning following the World Cup last autumn, which Wales exited at the quarter-finals stage, and has gone for an experienced team picked on form rather than reputation.

Wales, who now have 25 full-time professional players in their ranks, will be bidding to build on their third-place finish last year, which marked their best in 13 years and came just months after historic WRU playing contracts were first awarded. But that task has been made more difficult by Ireland, Scotland and Italy all following in Wales' footsteps by professionalising their women's programmes since the 2022 championship.

Ireland, meanwhile, have a point to prove heading to Cardiff. They are the only Six Nations team who did not qualify for last year's World Cup, and suffered a dramatic second-half defeat to Wales in Dublin in 2022. On their last visit to Cardiff, though, Ireland won 45-0 as Wales hit rock bottom amid a lack of support off the field.

As for turning pro, a total of 29 players accepted historic IRFU playing contracts at the end of last year, offered on the condition of playing club rugby in Ireland, while a number of players including captain Nichola Fryday rejected the deals in favour of remaining with their Premier 15s clubs in England, widely seen as the best women's rugby club competition in the world.

Wales: 15. Courtney Keight, 14. Lisa Neumann, 13. Hannah Jones (capt), 12. Kerin Lake, 11. Carys Williams-Morris, 10.
