Ireland enter the Six Nations 2023 as pre-tournament favourites despite not lifting the trophy since 2018.

Bookies installed the Irish as narrow favourites following an excellent run of form to wrap up 2022. They are undefeated in six games.

Andy Farrell’s men have defeated New Zealand twice, Australia and world champions South Africa since the last Six Nations competition.

They will hope to mark their progress with the title in 2023 before attention turns to this year’s Rugby World Cup.

RadioTimes.com rounds up everything you need to know about Ireland’s Six Nations 2023 campaign.
