Ireland kick-off the international competition (sponsored by the Bowen Group) against Wales in Musgrave Park tonight (7.30pm) — in a competition that also involves teams from England, Italy, France and Scotland.

The tournament, which offers free entry to games, was launched in the unlikely surroundings of Irish naval vessel LE Roisin at Customs House Quay, Cork, last night by IRFU President Der Healy and Diarmuid Kelly.
