The 2022 Six Nations enters its final stretch with back-to-back rounds of fixtures to decide the championship.
After the second fallow week of the tournament, all six sides are back in action in Round Four.
France continued their charge towards a Grand Slam in Round Three with a fine performance at Murrayfield against Scotland, while England kept their hopes alive by holding off Wales at Twickenham.
Ireland, comfortable winners over an unfortunate Italy last time out, now travel to face Eddie Jones’ side in a meeting of the two contenders who still harbour hopes of beating France to the title.
Here is everything you need to know including all the results so far and the fixtures this weekend:
When is the Six Nations?
The Six Nations began on Saturday 5 February, with Ireland beating Wales in Dublin, Scotland edging past England at Murrayfield and France downing Italy in Paris a day later.
