Match thread: Six Nations round 5
It ends today, and at first glance it's Ireland's to lose. Second too, but a third you can maybe see a route. Scotland beat Ireland and England beat France, some bonus point arithmetic in there too. But first...
Wales v Italy
Spoon decider here. Italy off the back of a well earned win vs Scotland. Wales licking wounds, but keen to avoid the spoon. Hope for an early try or this could be a nervy knock fest
Ireland vs Scotland
In theory Scotland could still win, but really Toonie hasn't produced any goods in this fixture in the last 9. Ireland have been not as good as 2023, but a shock last week will see them fired up. Triple crown is on the line here too
France vs England
Hold on to your livers, late 9pm local kick off here. And if Scotland somehow do England a favour, this one will be juicy. Even without an earlier upset both teams looking for a strong finish and to build. Probably the game of the day, if you mind it tomorrow!
Who's out? Any predictions pre matches?

Are Italy good now? Not a great game, but one to stamp Italian ascendancy
Bit of drama at the end there but I think this is the start of a new Italy. All of the grass roots work paying off through the youth teams.
Going to be a good afternoon.
Second time this tournament where they got a debatable try (Mitchell vs England Dee vs Wales) and and let that shift the momentum 180 degrees. I think they should work on their mental game a bit more to fix that.
