The Six Nations returns after a two week break this weekend, with a fascinating round of fixtures for fans to enjoy starting with Italy vs Ireland on Saturday.
The match in Rome sees the current favourites to win a grand slam, Ireland travelling to face a side who have shown signs of improvement in this year's tournament. However, with Ireland fresh off of beating France in Dublin there is believed to be little hope for Italy with the Irish team expected to produce a performance befitting the number one world ranking they currently hold.
Later on Saturday, in Cardiff, England travel to face Wales, with Warren Gatland's men currently occupying bottom place in the table having conceded 69 points in their first two matches. This means that England's players could have a good day especially with the poor preparation Wales have been through following the strike threat which was resolved on Wednesday.
