The mouth-watering climax to this season’s 6 Nations sees the cream of Celtic talent on show, with 42 of the 44 players named by Wales and Ireland today plying their trade each week in an increasingly intense and exciting Magners League.
Both captains, Ryan Jones of Wales and Brian O’Driscoll of Ireland have a wealth of Magners League experience behind them, O’Driscoll leading his province Leinster to the title last season taking over the mantle from Jones’ region, the Ospreys.
The cross border rivalry will continue into April as both Wales and Ireland each have two representative each in the quarter finals of the Heineken Cup – Munster host Ospreys, Cardiff Blues welcome three times winners Toulouse, whilst Leinster travel to Harlequins, the bulk of the players on the pitch on Saturday will also have a say in the outcome of those matches.
