Italy host France as Six Nations third-round weekend draws to an exciting close in Rome today. Les Bleus make the trip to the Stadio Olimpico desperate to bounce back quickly from their shock last-gasp defeat by England at Twickenham a fortnight ago that scuppered their latest Grand Slam hopes and made Ireland strong favourites to win a historic and unprecedented third successive title.

England will be out for a rare Calcutta Cup success as Scotland take on the Auld Enemy in a crunch. Just once since 2018 have England tasted success in this fixture, a run that includes a number of their worst performances in that time.
