The 2023 Six Nations fixtures have been announced, with Wales kicking off the tournament by welcoming Ireland to Cardiff.
With the Rugby World Cup to follow later in the year, next year's Six Nations takes on even greater importance as all sides prepare for the tournament in France. There will be no repeat of the Friday night fixture which made a return in 2022 for Wales v France, with Wayne Pivac's men having the added bonus of all five of their matches taking place on Saturdays.
The men's tournament runs from February 4 to March 18 and here are all the fixtures, dates and kick-off times for the 2023 Six Nations:
