The Six Nations concludes on Saturday with the best rugby sides in Europe again battling for spring supremacy.
Ireland’s hopes of defending their title look to be lost, though there is still hope if they hold serve first before England’s trip to Wales and then a brilliant France host Scotland in the finale to this gripping championship.
Les Bleus are very much in the box seat for the title, but after defeat to England, Steve Borthwick’s side sense a famous triumph and will gleefully bid to pile on the pressure and force a nervy evening at the Stade de France.
Wales have shown new life under Matt Sherratt though and will be determined to snap a 16-match losing streak against the bitter enemy.
With a British and Irish Lions series on the way, those hoping for selection in Andy Farrell’s squad have one last chance to push their case and earn a spot on tour. Here’s everything you need to know.
