What is at stake?
As the current number one team in the world, a Grand Slam win would be the perfect display of muscle-flexing for Ireland ahead of this autumn’s World Cup.
There is also the chance for Ireland to clinch a Grand Slam on home soil for the very first time, with captain Johnny Sexton already stating that this would be the “stuff of dreams”.
In terms of the Six Nations Championship, Ireland will already know what they have to do to win it, after France play Wales in the earlier game.
Should the title be wrapped up in time for kick-off at the Aviva, there is sure to be a party atmosphere as Ireland look to go one better by winning the Grand Slam.
