John Inverdale is at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for the final game of this opening round of the 2007 Six Nations, between Wales and Ireland.

Wales famously beat today's opponents at this ground in 2005 to seal their first Grand Slam for 27 years and spark scenes of wild celebration among the Welsh supporters.

Two years on and Wales have a new coach in Gareth Jenkins and much to prove after a disappointing defence of their title last year, when they finished in fifth place, albeit with a squad depleted by injuries.

The Welsh Dragon will need to roar at its loudest to stop an Ireland team full of confidence after a successful autumn international series, which included impressive wins over South Africa and Australia.

Eddie O'Sullivan's team are being touted in some circles as Northern Hemisphere rugby's best hope for World Cup glory later this year, and a first Six Nations title since 1985 would be a significant boost ahead of that challenge.

We'll have a full build-up to what should be a great match, featuring interviews with players and coaches, before the action gets under way at a packed Millennium Stadium at 3.00. Commentary comes from Nick Mullins and Jonathan Davies.
