Irish rugby fans in Wales

Welsh welcome for Irish fans

We hear from the Irish team and their fans as they prepare for a Six Nations showdown against Wales.

All eyes will be on Cardiff on Saturday as Ireland take on Wales in the Six Nations Rugby. 

At stake are the Championship, the Triple Crown, and the elusive Grand Slam which Ireland haven't won since 1948.
