Ireland head to Wales this Saturday to duel with Wales in the RBS 6 Nations

It's rugby, soccer, Gaelic games, cricket and golf on the sporting menu this Saturday.

RUGBY

Europe's premier international rugby tournament, the RBS 6 Nations, returned with two encounters.

Italy have caused a massive shock by overcoming Italy 22-21 in Rome to blow the race for the Championship wide open.

Ireland failed to take advantage of France's slip-up as they fell to a 19-13 defeat to Wales in Cardiff. Declan Kidney's men will feel hard done by, however, as Mike Phillips' crucial try seemed to come from an illegal quick line-out.
