A guide to all of the live sport on TV this weekend including Ireland v England in the Six Nations

James Fenton

This weekend’s live sport on TV includes some massive Six Nations encounters, a return of the League of Ireland and a few intriguing FA Cup battles to name just a few bits.

It hasn’t been the most memorable Six Nations campaign for Ireland but they’ll be hoping to go out on a high with victory over England at the Aviva Stadium. Sadly, the game is kind of just an appetiser for the huge clash in Paris as Wales aim to clinch a second Grand Slam in three years against France.

As well as the oval ball, it’s the first round of 2021 League of Ireland Premier Division action, with all games available through a WATCHLOI subscription – more information on that here.

Plus there’s Waterford’s Sam Bennett taking part in the Milan San-Remo cycling race, some NBA action and, of course, good helping of Premier League and FA Cup.
