By James Barnes, on 11th March 2011, 15:32 UTC
Ireland will seek to put their Six Nations Championship destiny in their own hands with a win over Wales on Saturday setting up a possible decider with England.
The Millennium Stadium is the scene of Ireland's last Grand Slam victory in 2009, and they will hope to kick-start their campaign with a big win. Wales have only beaten Ireland at home once since 1983.
Ireland boss Declan Kidney has named an unchanged starting line-up. Ronan O'Gara continues at fly-half, needing just two more points to reach 1,000
Wales, second in the table on points difference, also have plenty to play for and will bo boosted by the return of fit-again Leigh Halfpenny and Jonathan Davies return in place of Morgan Stoddart and Stephen Jones who both drop to the bench. James Hook will play at fly-half.
Wales v Ireland tickets are available now.
