Ones to watch:
For Ireland: It's been a busy week for Keith Earls, who has been handed the daunting prospect of replacing the talismanic Brian O'Driscoll only days after witnessing the birth of his first child. It's hard to determine what's harder - filling one of the biggest boots in world rugby or changing dirty nappies? Both are huge responsibilities, but Earl's number one priority on Sunday will be proving his critics wrong who feel he's not the answer in midfield by transfering his Munster form in the Heineken Cup to the Six Nations.
For Wales: Tough to choose considering Wales' key players keep dropping like flies. Fly-half Rhys Priestland is one of several Welshmen in doubt as he battles to recover in time from a knee injury. However, Priestland's pain is James Hook's gain with the Perpignan back set for a reappearance in the critical fly-half role. Should Hook be involved on Sunday, the 26-year-old could be handed the goalkicking duties. Hook missed vital goal-kicks at the World Cup, and will need to be on target in Dublin - although Wales do have other options in Leigh Halfpenny.
