WATCH: RTÉ Six Nations promo - ‘Your heroes have arrived’

Only hours to go until Ireland kick off the defence of their Six Nations title against Italy and RTÉ’s promo is just the thing to get the blood pumping before the game.

“While others speak heroes act,

While others rest heroes roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.”

They’ve used everyone from JFK to Ché Guevara, Bob Marley to Nelson Mandela in their stirring tribute to heroes and the emotions they inspire in the rest of us.

“Heroes don't always win,

But when they fail they dust themselves off and go again.”

It’s February, it’s a sunny Saturday and it’s the Six Nations baby.

Bring it on.
