Last round we saw a spirited Wales drift off the 2nd half vs a still yet to peak Ireland. England steal a win over yet another misfiring Scotland. And France stomp on Italy. Leaving Ireland top of the table, followed closely by France

So isn't it fitting that it's our first game this weekend? Miss this one at your peril, expect big tackles, trick plays, and drama to the final whistle. Following up is the always spirited Wales vs a Scotland team that should be doing better. With pressure on both coaches: a mist win for both teams! Then Sunday we see if Italy really can kick on and at least give England a scare at Twickenham, but England technically still in contention so don't expect an upset here

Saturday

1415 Ireland vs France
1645 Scotland vs Wales

Sunday

1500 England vs Italy

As always; predictions in the comments, reactions more than welcomed, and your post round thoughts appreciated

Wow what a cracker this Fra/Ire game is. Some of the Dupont moments have been all-timers.

That reverse pass was really one for the highlight reel

Gutted he went off...

Wasn't needed in the end. Hoping a rest week for him next week!

Oof, yeah, France really pulled out the big guns in the second half. They have one hand on the trophy now.

Missed the second half walking down. What a score though! Wide open championship again
