The third round of the 2024 Six Nations is just around the corner. Ireland and England remain the only undefeated sides in the competition but will both face stern tests this weekend.

England head to Murrayfield to face Scotland on Saturday, with Steve Borthwick springing the surprise selection of George Furbank at full-back back for the Calcutta Cup. He is one of the five changes for England, with Ollie Lawrence, Danny Care, Ellis Genge and Dan Cole also coming in. Freddie Steward has been dropped from the squad entirely.

Following a dominant 36-0 win over Italy at the Aviva Stadium, Ireland look to keep their ambitions of defending their grand slam title on track when Wales travel to Dublin on Saturday.

France secured a controversial 20-16 victory over Scotland and will look to get back in their groove when they welcome Italy to the Decathlon Arena in Lille on Sunday.

How to watch the 2024 Six Nations on TV

Fixtures this year will continue to be shown on both the BBC and ITV in the UK. Live streams are available for free on BBC iPlayer and ITVX apps, and can be downloaded on mobile or tablet devices.

The long-term future of the Six Nations on free-to-air TV is uncertain after the British Government rejected calls to add the tournament to the list of sporting events that must be shown for free.
