Warren Gatland will take control of Wales at a Six Nations tournament for the first time in four years when Ireland come to Cardiff for the opening match.
The last time Gatland came up against the Irish in the tournament, he secured a Grand Slam with a 25-7 victory, in his penultimate tournament prior to leaving the head coach role with Wales.
The Kiwi has opted for a wealth of experience on his return, with 12 players in the matchday 23 being over the age of 30.
