LISTEN: The Breakdown S02E04 with Sporting Limerick & Three Red Kings

It’s back!! Age old tribal rivalries are renewed this weekend as the 2018 Natwest Six Nations Championship kicks off with some mouthwatering rugby on offer.

Both sides were named on Thursday with the French opting for Matthieu Jalibert, an uncapped 19-year-old who has still to play a Champions Cup game to start at out-half. Ireland on the other hand have the look of a settled and well prepared side who know how to execute a game-plan.

The beauty of this tournament is its ability to surprise and with France away on the opening day, les bleus are frustratingly hard to predict.

Classic French unpredictability cliches to one side for now as we take an in-depth look at all the games as well as assessing Ireland’s chances of a win in Paris.

All that plus a sneak peak and what you can expect from Three Red Kings and Sporting Limerick in the coming week.
