    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Wales have to keep bringing the line speed and try and slow down the Ireland attack.

    Ireland have used wing James Lowe to get over the gainline and it has put Wales on the back foot.

    Wales have not been given a hope by anybody here in Dublin.

    They will hope to prove people wrong against an Ireland side that have dominated this Aviva Stadium fixture during the last 12 years.

    Shane O'Neill: David Humphries' electric try in Cardiff, where he chased his own kick and burned everyone before catching the bouncing ball in the Welsh 22 and sprinting clear to score. Pure magic.

    It will be the final time Wales and Ireland will wear their traditional plain red and green jerseys against each other in the Six Nations.

    From January, Six Nations teams will have to avoid kit clashes which could negatively impact colour blind viewers.

    Sean Gilsenan is a colour blind Ireland fan, and tells BBC Newsbeat his experience watching has been different to most others.

    "From a really early age, I always make comments like "why are those jerseys so similar?"

    The change is a good move from an "accessibility aspect" and people can distinguish the two jerseys, he says.

    But he admits that the two teams are known for those colours, so it "would be a bit strange".

    So he suggests keeping the kits the same colour, but introducing ways of "distinguishing the jerseys".

    "Whether that be stripes on a jersey, polka dots, something to make it very distinguishable while still keeping the same colours."

    Grand Slam match, Cardiff 2019. Wales destroyed Ireland, I sat next to Paul Wallace and took £20 off him. Sweet.

  20. 'A unique rivalry'published at 14:00 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

    Shane Horgan
    Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It is a unique rivalry that didn't really exist.

    It developed from my era - about 2000 onwards. We had some cracking games. We didn't lose too many to Wales.

    But every time they beat us they won a Grand Slam. It felt like it was hard-wired in their bones to succeed in the Six Nations.

    There is an expectation that Wales teams win Grand Slams. They are not there in their cycle at the moment, but they will be there again at some stage pretty quickly.
