Join us for the Ireland-France game with Off The Ball and win a trip to Edinburgh

We’re lining out with guests like Keith Wood and Shane Jennings before the big game in the Aviva.

AFTER LAST WEEKEND’S opening round of Six Nations matches, we’re really looking forward to the visit of Les Bleus to the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

And apart from humming La Marseillaise and carb-loading, we’ll be preparing for the game by teaming up with Newstalk’s Off The Ball for a live broadcast from Dublin 4 in the hours beforehand.

Ireland legends like Keith Wood and Shane Jennings will join our own Murray Kinsella and the OTB team to preview the visit of the French. Text 42 to 53106 to book your seat for the show at the Ballsbridge Hotel which runs from 2pm until kick-off at five.

We’ll be giving away a class trip to Edinburgh for the Scotland tie – a potential championship decider — on 21 March.

And there’s a pair of tickets to tomorrow’s game — thanks to our friends at Canterbury — to be won too if you’re still on the look-out come Saturday afternoon.
