Now on to four more in part two. The Springboks host Italy, Tonga lines up the Canadians, England ventures to Argentina, and Ireland face an impressive Eagles lineup in Texas.
With so many big games on deck this weekend it’s best to split the previews into two parts. Here’s the heads up on the first four matches worth checking out.
Two mid-week games entertain us until the massive weekend ahead. The Lions officially get their Australia tour underway against the Force, while Canada host Fiji in Pacific Nations Cup action.
This weekend offers up the first round of the reformed Pacific Nations Cup while fan-favorites the Barbarians take on England. A great way to kick off the next few weeks!
The tournament that never was? One that had promised so much only six weeks ago has been mired in damp weather and despairingly bland tactics. Will the final weekend deliver?
Will England continue their march towards the Grand Slam? Can a renewed Scotland hold out a resurgent Wales at Edinburgh? Do France have what it takes to win in Dublin?
It’s hard to believe that we’re already at the midway point of the championship. The pivotal weekend features two Irish debuts and of course the 84th edition of Le Crunch.
On to week two in the Six Nations, with a fun weekend culminating into the big match in Dublin on Sunday. It’s time to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
Brief previews of the other nine major international games lined up this weekend.
