Ireland aim to deny unbeaten Welsh the Triple Crown

Ireland have the early start today, a 1.15 kick-off at Croke Park in the RBS 6 Nations as they seek to deny the unbeaten Welsh a Triple Crown and keep their own tilt at the title alive.

Ireland are joint second on the table with two wins to Wales' three and trailing well behind on points difference which could yet decide the tournament if Eddie O'Sullivan's team can engineer a win today.
