George North will become third Wales player to win 120th capBack-row Caelan Doris expected to be fit to start for Ireland
Rob Howley has said Wales will aim to create rugby chaos when they face what most people believe is mission improbable against Ireland on Saturday. Wales have not won a Six Nations game against Ireland in Dublin since 2012, drawing one and losing four of the subsequent fixtures.
Ireland are chasing back-to-back grand slams – a feat never previously achieved in the Six Nations – and have taken pole position following emphatic bonus-point victories over France and Italy. Andy Farrell’s team will also equal a record, currently held by England and set seven years ago, of 11 successive Six Nations wins if they topple Wales.
