DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.
Live Six Nations Rugby Union (RTE 2, 5pm)
Coverage of the final match of the championship, which takes place at the Aviva Stadium. This fixture was always expected to be key when the schedule was announced, but Ireland’s defeat to Wales last time out ended their chances of winning the title and handed England the spoils. There’s a world record winning run and a Grand Slam on the line for the visitors though – so plenty to play for. It’s the hope that kills you.
