The ‘Auld alliance’ between France and Scotland dates back to the 13th century, however both teams would be looking to put this friendship to one side over the weekend, with both Nations looking to bounce back from defeats.

The opening weekend of the Six Nations in Dublin is always a cracker, but this year with England in town, the atmosphere in the city was electric.

Summary: England came out of the Quilter Internationals with three wins and a loss by just a point to New Zealand.

It has been a strange year so far for the England rugby team, who started their Six Nations defence with two wins, only to then suddenly lose five games in a row as Eddie Jones faced his first crisis as head coach.
