Wales have lost just one of their last five Six Nations games against Ireland (W3, D1). However, their solitary defeat in that spell came the last time they travelled to Dublin in the tournament (2018).
Only once in the previous four seasons have Ireland won their opening game of a Six Nations Championship. They went on to win the Grand Slam in the year they managed to do so (2018).
