The stage is set for one of the great days in Irish rugby tomorrow as Andy Farrell’s men attempt their first Six Nations clean sweep, in Dublin, on the weekend when the country celebrates St Patrick’s Day.
Standing in their way are an England team still licking their wounds after last week’s thrashing, at home, by France. “All odds are against us,” says England’s Ellis Genge. “It’s more so now about proving a point that we have got some fight in us.”
On the final weekend, the three Six Nations matches run one after the other. The day starts with Scotland v Italy at 12.30pm on the BBC, followed by France v Wales at 2.45pm on ITV and rounded off by Ireland v England at 5pm, also on ITV.
The battle for the wooden spoon is between Wales and Italy. For a full guide to the possible finishes this weekend, see our explanation of the permutations.
