NOT LONG TO wait now. Ireland take on Wales in the Millennium Stadium at 14.30 this afternoon.
Come kick-off we can finally stop hyping up a game that doesn’t really need any more hyping up.
It’s Wales v Ireland: the last two champions going mano-y-mano. Gatland v Schmidt trying to out-think each other. Paulie v Alun Wyn. Halfpenny v Kearney, Zebo v North. momentun v bouncebackability…
It going to intense, we know that, but who do you think will win?
Can Ireland end Welsh hope of charging in late and taking another title, or will the home side prevail in a raucous atmosphere in Cardiff where high kicks from green jerseys are reviled and choke tackles deemed dangerous.
