Don’t Miss: The Six Nations is back this weekend and it all kicks off in France when the current Grand Slam Champions Ireland take on France in the Orange Velodrome in Marseille. Both sides were disappointed with their early exits from the Rugby World Cup and should be a cracking opening game in the Velodrome. England make the trip to Italy on Saturday with Wales hosting Scotland in the last game of the first round of the Championship. All games will be live on RTÈ 2 and Virgin Media.

Set the Sky Box: The Allianz Hurling league starts this week. Division One is made up of two groups of six with the top two in each group qualifying for the league semi-finals. Games will be live on TG4.
