Ireland's destiny is out of their hands as they travel to the Stadio Olimpico in Saturday's early game, before England head to the Principality Stadium to face Wales.

France are the team in the driving seat going into the weekend's final matches and Les Bleus will be guaranteed the title if they can secure a bonus-point win over Scotland.

Six Nations Week 5 tips

• Italy v Ireland – Ireland -21.0 handicap @ 20/21
• Wales v England – Wales +11.0 handicap @4/5
• France v Scotland – Louis Bielle-Biarrey two or more tries @15/8

Italy v Ireland – Saturday, March 15th (14:15 KO)

Starting in the Eternal City, Ireland know they need to secure a bonus-point win over Italy and hope England and France lose to secure what would be a record-breaking third consecutive Six Nations title.

It's a big ask, but all interim head coach Simon Easterby and his side can do is put as many points past Italy as possible.

The hosts started the Six Nations strongly by giving Scotland a scare in Edinburgh, before responding from that defeat at Murrayfield with victory over the Welsh in Rome.

However, a 73-24 defeat to France and a 47-24 loss to England have since followed and it's hard to see the Azzurri being able to keep the scoreline down against the Irish.

Wales v England – Saturday, March 15th (16:45 KO)

In what could be the pick of the games this weekend, Wales will be going all out to avoid the wooden spoon when they host England at the Principality Stadium.

Since coach Matt Sherratt took interim charge, Wales have rediscovered some of their former selves in battling performances against Ireland and Scotland.

Both games ended in defeat, but if Wales can take their first-half performance against Ireland and combine it with their second-half display against the Scots, then they will certainly give England a run for their money.

Steve Borthwick's England looked comfortable against, Italy but they will be taking nothing for granted ahead of their trip across the border to Cardiff.

Wales can make this one closer than many predict, so going with the hosts with a generous +11.0 handicap appeals in this one.

France v Scotland – Saturday, March 15th (20:00 KO)

The curtain closer for the 2025 Six Nations comes from Saint-Denis as France look to land just their second title since 2010 with victory over Scotland.

While the visitors have the ability to cause an upset against the French, it would require an 80-minute performance from the Scots and that has proved elusive for Gregor Townsend's side.

Backed by a passionate home crowd, a comprehensive French victory appears to be far more likely and once again winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey can be the star of the show.

The Bordeaux flyer has already scored seven tries in the Six Nations this season and he's well-priced to add at least a couple more tries to his collection on what should be a memorable night in the French capital.
