Rugby’s Greatest Championship finally returns this weekend and supporters in Ireland will be spoilt for choice when it comes to options for how to watch the action.
As ever, viewers in the UK and Republic of Ireland are well catered for throughout the Championship and every match will be screened live in high definition.
The action begins on Saturday when Ireland, unbeaten in eight Test matches, host defending champions Wales in a rematch of their Round 1 encounter last year – won 21-16 by Wayne Pivac’s men.
In the Republic of Ireland, RTÉ 2 HD will show the match – the first in their partnership with Virgin Media Television to make all of the 2022 Championship matches to free-to-air.
Coverage begins at 1pm, while for viewers in Northern Ireland, ITV 1 HD has the match and will be on air from 1.30pm, with kick-off following at 2.15pm.
Another tasty treat follows at 4.45pm, as Scotland and England contest the Calcutta Cup at BT Murrayfield.
