Here Are The All-Important Dates And Times For Ireland’s 2018 Six Nations Campaign

Dry January is now a distant memory so it’s time to prepare for what February has to offer – pints, rugby and more pints. 

The Six Nations gets underway this weekend and as always, Ireland are in with a shout of taking home the prize. The bookies have us down as 6/4 second favourites behind England to win our first title since 2015. 

The springtime tournament is always full of spills and thrills whether you’re at the games themselves, on the sofa, or in a packed pub anywhere in Ireland soaking up the atmosphere. 

But what dates and times should you leave clear in your diary to take in the action? Look no further as we’ve got the comprehensive list right here. Joe Schmidt’s Ireland side get their campaign underway with a trip to Paris to take on France this Saturday and after that we can expect week after week of hard-hitting action all the way up to what should be a nail-biting showdown with England on Paddy’s Day.
