RTE and Virgin Media have revealed their schedules and punditry/commentary line ups for the 2024 Six Nations Championship.

Ireland kick off the tournament against France in Marseille on February 2. This clash will be shown live on Virgin Media, along with Ireland's matches against Italy and Scotland, while RTE will have live coverage of Ireland vs Wales and England vs Ireland.

The rest of the competition's games will be shared between the two broadcasters.

RTÉ’s coverage will be manned by presenter Jacqui Hurley with Jamie Heaslip, Bernard Jackman, Stephen Ferris, Fiona Coghlan, Donal Lenihan, Hannah Tyrrell and Jerry Flannery joining as pundits.

There has been much speculation as to whether Munster' Simon Zebo will receive a call-up to the Ireland squad, and the fact that he has not been named among the RTE panellists will only increase the hype.

He was part of the RTE punditry during last year's competition, splitting his time between provincial duties and his TV work.
