Wales need to start much better than they did in the other away fixture against England.

Individual errors like Wales fly-half Dan Edwards kicking the ball dead is not going to help their early cause.

Dan Edwards goes for the 50/22 but he gets far, far, far too much on it and it not only stays in the middle of the park, but it rolls out the back of the in-goal area.

Ireland will have the scrum on halfway.

Really looking for Wales to build on last week but this is some Ireland team they have to compete against.

Josh Adams does well to win the high ball against Jamie Osborne.

It's kicked into space behind the Irish defence, who return in kind with a kick of their own.

Wales win the line out but the ball is loose in midfield and the visitors have to scramble back to secure the ball.

They had the throw on halfway but are now back on their own 22.

Stuart McCloskey, nicknamed the Irish Fridge by the French after his performance against England, gathers the kick off and it's thumped clear for the first line out.

Let's go!

Lovely, that's set the tone.

Kick-off is only moments away.

What are your final predictions?

For such a long time, Ireland against Wales would have brought the traditional green and red jerseys.

But, for the first time in Dublin, Wales will wear their alternate white shirt for tonight's game.

It is to help those who are colourblind and may struggle to differentiate between teams, and red and green are a combination that can often cause an issue.

Ireland wore their white jersey last year as they won the Triple Crown in Cardiff, and it's now Wales' turn tonight.

It's time for the anthems in Dublin.

These should be good, I reckon.

Caelan Doris and Dewi Lake lead out the teams to a huge roar in Dublin.

It's almost time.

Oh, what's occurring?

There's still a lot of punters queuing up for pints, but there's a good energy in here tonight.

There are a few pockets of Wales fans dotted about the place, too.

They might not be expecting to celebrate much tonight, but this is the Six Nations: predictions are a fool's game.

Wales need to hon in on the mistakes that Ireland have made, and tighten up on the tackles and the jackals around the breakdown.

The scrum will be a deciding factor and Wales need to go the full 80 not just the 70 minutes like they against Scotland which ultimately cost them the game.

Ireland have gone from being described as over the hill against France to being back to their best against England?

There's nothing quite like knee-jerk reactions, is there?

Despite that, there's no doubting that Ireland have been a bit Jekyll and Hyde over the past year or so, but what team will turn up tonight against Wales?

I was watching the England game in the pub, equally dumbfounded.

Ireland went into that game 11 points underdogs, England really didn’t turn up and the big thing for Andy Farrell is how does he bring his team back down to reality after that performance.

Five changes for Ireland, they need to focus on this Welsh team who will be looking to perform and have a prep in their step tonight.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell says he expects to "sit down and have discussions" with the Irish Rugby Football Union over his future after being linked with a move to Saracens.

Saracens last week released a statement to distance the club from "disrespectful" reports they had offered Farrell a coaching role after the 2027 Rugby World Cup when his Ireland deal ends.

The English Premiership side said "no offer has been made" after the Irish Independent reported that Farrell was approached with a deal worth more than £1m a year to return to Sarries following next year's tournament in Australia.

Mark McCall will step down as Saracens' director of rugby at the end of the season and Brendan Venter will return to the role.

While Farrell admitted he understood why he would be linked with a role at his former club, where his son Owen currently plays, he said it was "people putting two and two together and making five".

"You'd expect me to say I'm here to concentrate on the Six Nations and what will be, will be in the future," Farrell said ahead of tonight's game.

"I suppose it's people putting two and two together and making five, with the connections, good friends with the owner, Owen's there and all of that... So you can see why that has happened.

"I suppose we'll sit down and have discussions with the IRFU in the near future, that's for sure."

Ireland captain Caelan Doris says his side are "nowhere near" reaching their full potential as they prepare to face Wales following a record away victory over England.

Head coach Andy Farrell's side are hoping to see off Wales and set up a Six Nations Triple Crown decider at home to Scotland on 14 March.

But Doris insists Ireland still have plenty to work on despite scoring a record 42 points away to England a fortnight ago in a statement performance.

"Obviously there's a positive feeling after a good performance like that but it's about the bigger picture, really, and it's about continuing to grow," said Doris.

"We know we're nowhere near our potential as a team and there's a lot of hard work to put in, and there's a long journey for us to go on still.

"It was back to hard work, back to the learnings from the game, of which there were some, as well as some good stuff. It's just about building on it.

"We've got a pretty clear plan of where we want to go in terms of structures and the way we want to play and it's about chasing that down week on week."
