The penultimate round of the Six Nations gets underway with a host of crunch clashes.
Wales are looking to avoid a wooden spoon when they come up against Italy. The Azzurri have been impressive this campaign, but they will be without star player Ange Capuozzo.
England and France look to keep their championship hopes alive when they clash at Twickenham, whilst Ireland continue their quest to secure a Grand Slam when they take on Scotland in Edinburgh.
There have been a whole host of big calls made in the team lineups. Steve Borthwick has chosen to drop Owen Farrell from the starting lineup for England, opting for Marcus Smith at fly-half instead. Despite Louis Rees-Zammit being fit, Wales have put him in the replacements. Rhys Webb is starting at nine for Warren Gatland's team.
