Celtic showdown.

Ireland host Wales next weekend in a huge heavyweight Six Nations clash at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Ireland are unbeaten in the competition so far, having dispatched of France and Italy so far in rounds one and two respectively.

Wales meanwhile, got off to the perfect start, demolishing Scotland with a try-bonus win at the Principality in round one. They lost to England however, in round two, albeit in controversial circumstances.

Ahead of the game, popular Welsh rugby outlet, WalesOnline, have had a go at picking the team they want to see for the huge clash. They’ve made some interesting calls, dropping the back-three combination of Gareth Anscombe, Steff Evans and Josh Adams.

Instead they’ve gone for an all Lions combination of Leigh Halfpenny, Liam Williams and George North. They’ve also stuck with Scarlets ten Rhys Patchell, despite his shaky performance against England.

Have a look below and let us know what you think.
