Jason Mohammad presents live coverage as defending Six Nations champions Ireland begin their bid to retain the title with an opening fixture against Italy in Rome.

The Irish took the title on points difference in 2014 thanks in part to a thumping 46-7 win over the Italians in the penultimate game of the tournament.

Joe Schmidt's Irish side are adjusting to life without centre Brian O'Driscoll, but posted some impressive results in the autumn beating South Africa and Australia. Italy are in the midst of a bad run of form having won just one of their last 12 Tests.

Guests include Keith Wood and Carlo Del Fava with commentary by Conor McNamara.
