When Jim Neilly gets behind the microphone for Ireland's opening Six Nations match at home to Scotland on Saturday, his TV and radio commentary career with the BBC will have spanned six decades - the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. The Belfast native remembers his debut international commentary in Dublin's Lansdowne Road vividly, and paints a very different picture to the modern Aviva Stadium surroundings in which he will sit for the visit of the Scots this weekend. "I had just left teaching and joined the BBC in Belfast when I commentated on Ireland against France in what was then the Five Nations on 20 January 1979," he remembers.
