The destination of the 2025 Six Nations title could be all-but decided on Saturday as Ireland take on France in the biggest game of the championship.
A win for the hosts – who only have a trip to Italy left to come – in Dublin would see them almost guarantee the Grand Slam and a historic third successive crown with a game to spare after they overcame an unexpected scare in Cardiff prior to the second fallow week to clinch the Triple Crown, though a triumph for Les Bleus would certainly make things much more interesting heading into Super Saturday.
Resurgent Wales then go to Murrayfield after finally restoring some pride with that hugely encouraging first performance under temporary coach Matt Sherratt, looking to finally end their record 15-match losing Test run against a wounded Scotland team who have suffered back-to-back losses, including by a point at Twickenham last time out to finally relinquish the Calcutta Cup.
