The Six Nations got underway last week, with Round One providing some expected outcomes as well as some unexpected results with Scotland's win at Twickenham a surprise to many.
This weekend sees the world's two top ranked team face each other in Dublin, with France travelling to the Aviva Stadium to face Ireland. The match will be a key indicator as to the strength of both, with a win for either setting them on their way to a grand slam in a key year ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
Having lost to Ireland, Warren Gatland will need to rally his troops for their visit to Murrayfield on Saturday, with Scotland on a high following their win in the Calcutta Cup. Wales have made six changes on Saturday with all six coming in the forwards as Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric are dropped.

England, meanwhile, will be eyeing a big win to bounce back from their defeat to Scotland at Twickenham last weekend, with the visit of Italy to HQ on Sunday. Steve Borthwick will be confident with England having never lost to Italy, but they will need to be wary with Kieran Crowley's side having pushed France close in Rome last Sunday.
Here are four tips for your Six Nations fantasy team this weekend.
Rio Dyer - 13.0 stars
Impressing against the world's number one team last weekend, Dyer will be hoping for more joy against Scotland this week than he had against the world's number one team last weekend. The young winger will hope to see the same gaps which England were able to exploit with their three tries against Scotland last weekend.
Matheiu Jalibert - 13.5 stars
One of the most exciting playmakers in the game, Jalibert is a casualty of France's embarrassment of riches in midfield, with a place on the bench once again this weekend. His entrance to the field last weekend was marked immediately with a try and he is a solid supersub pick for his attacking prowess and ability to break a game in a number of ways.
George Turner - 12.3 stars
Scoring 42 points from hooker last weekend, with a crucial front row display against England for Scotland, Turner was one of the standout players of round one. He could have more joy this weekend, with a much changed Wales pack an unknown quantity which the Scotland forwards could exploit.
Christ Tshiunza - 8.8 stars
With the aforementioned changes in the Wales pack, one call in particular stands out, with Exeter Chiefs' youngster Christ Tshiunzna picked to start his first Six Nations match. Not in the squad last weekend, he is valued at just 8.8 stars and will wear the numberr six jersey despite being listed as a second row on the game, a good bargain option for your team.
