Minute-by-minute report: Returning Wales coach Warren Gatland takes on the world No 1s. Join Lee Calvert
Warren Gatland has taken the lead of Embrace by coming back to what he knows with his first Wales selection. Unlike Embrace, however, this looks like something you may want to pay attention to as he’s mixed staggering amounts of experience -including new captain, Ken Owens - with a sprinkling of the exciting youth of Rio Dyer, Jac Morgan and Joe Hawkins in the starting XV. On the bench, Rhys Webb and Owen Williams make international returns, having been largely ignored under Pivac.
For Andy Farrell and Ireland it’s pretty much a CTRL-ALT-C, CTRL-ALT-V of the squad that delivered so much in 2022, with changes forced by injury in the main. Why wouldn’t you? Finlay Bealham is in for Tadhg Furlong, Stuart McCloskey is preferred to Bundee Aki in the centre with Robbie Henshaw not fit.
