Wales hunt U20 Six Nations upset against Triple Crown-chasing Ireland in Cork on Saturday night.

France’s head coach Fabien Galthié has taken aim at the size of Murrayfield’s away dressing room as his Grand Slam-hunting side travel to Scotland for the seminal match of this year’s Six Nations.

With two more rounds of the championship left to play, France are the only team still in contention for the Grand Slam after they convincingly beat Italy on Sunday.

Antoine Dupont deserves to be hailed far and wide in Andy Farrell's opinion. The Ireland coach couldn't be happier with Jamison Gibson-Park, to whom he gave his first test in 2020 and is giving his 50th test for the Irish on Friday night when Wales visits in the Six Nations. “I think Dupont is a generational player,” Farrell said.

There is no avoiding the fact: Italy have never beaten England.

As the Six Nations hits round four, we have a Friday night in Dublin followed by a fascinating Saturday that culminates with Italy hosting England.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell says he expects to "have discussions" with the Irish Rugby Football Union over his future after he was linked with Saracens.

On Saturday, France can accomplish a feat which has not been achieved in the Six Nations for eight years: securing the championship with a round to spare. A bonus-point victory seals it without question, a win alone might be enough, depending on events in Dublin on Friday night and, regardless of the Irish outcome, Les Bleus would still have one hand and a few fingers on the trophy.

Dave Rennie has won the race to be head coach of New Zealand’s rugby union team.
