The  rival teams have produced some amazing encounters in recent years - remember,last-gasp success in Cardiff for Ireland in the last year to claim , the Grand Slam and not to forget,Wales' battling victory in Dublin the previous year on their way to their own clean sweep - and their latest meeting is shaping up as another mouth-watering affair.
Ireland's strength a well-regimented defence and a clinical attacking edge have served them well so far,except the match against France.On the contrary, Wales have produced a brief glimpses of their best during a rollercoaster ride of the season where they have seemed intent on handing their opponents a crucial advantage on the scoreboard before sparking into life.
