Home wins as predicted last week, but Wales laying down sadly vs a rampant France. Scotland were given a scare by Italy, and Ireland didn't look invulnerable against a determined England. I love the six nations.

This weekend we see the battle for the spoon with Italy hosting Wales. Then Le Crunch with England hosting France and a crowd desparate for something to celebrate. Finally we see Scotland host Ireland who are on a ten game win streak vs the Scots currently. Loads on narrative, loads on the line, loads of rugby!

Saturday

1515 CET Italy vs Wales
1645 GMT England vs France

Sunday

1500 Scotland vs Ireland

As always, reactions, reviews and predictions always welcomed

Oops, you wrote England-Wales in the post!

Also, as a lurker this is my chance to use the comment and say I love your threads. Thanks for making them and helping lil dilettantes like me enjoy and follow the 6 nations without reading the full press coverage, this is exactly the level of information I'm looking for!

Merci beaucoup et enchanté. The press can be a bit rabid at times due to the pressure to fill column inches this time of year - when Rugby gets the limelight - meaning they often stick their foot in their mouth and make mountains out of molehills. But it does mean that this time of year the office talk is highest, the pubs are busier, the hotels and stadia are packed. And all of that means friendships, rivalry, and the six nations unites us all in our quest to beat England. Enjoy the tournament
