Mini “forum-style” note

A lot of fans this year are talking about how daunting this fixture looks for Wales after heavy defeats to England and France in recent years, with many saying they’re just hoping to “keep the score respectable” rather than expect an upset.

TL;DR:
If you’re in the UK, just stick BBC One on or stream via BBC iPlayer / BBC Sport (or S4C for Welsh). In France, use TF1 or TF1+; in Ireland, RTÉ2 / RTÉ Player; elsewhere, check your local rugby broadcaster or a legal streaming option in your region.
