The opening game between France and Ireland will kick off at 20:00 UK time on Friday, February 2. Round One’s action continues on Saturday, with Italy hosting England and Scotland playing away to Wales.

There will then be another two-week break between rounds three and four. On Saturday, March 9, Italy will host Scotland, and England will be at home against Ireland. That Sunday, Les Bleus head to Cardiff to face Wales.

The competition concludes the following weekend, with Super Saturday taking place on March 16. The final fixtures see Wales and Ireland host Italy and Scotland respectively. A thrilling end to the competition sees Le Crunch take centre stage as Les Bleus host England.
