Six Nations starts this weekend: All the kick off times!

This year’s Six Nations is is set to kick off in Marseille on Friday night with a France v Ireland spectacle that fans have been craving ever since the fixtures were announced last February.

Saturday’s showdown in Rome between Italy and England will see the hosts hoping to make an impression under new head coach Gonzalo Quesada. In the opposite camp, a rejuvenated England will look to assert their dominance.

The weekend reaches its crescendo on Sunday when Wales and Scotland collide in Cardiff, with it proving to be very trick to pick a clear favourite.
