Two rounds remain and nobody has emerged as a clear favorite for the Six Nations title. With the four leaders facing off against each other, this weekend will be critical.
England, France, Ireland and Scotland all have four points from three games.
England will be looking to beat France at the Stade de France for the first time since 2000 tomorrow. England last won the title in 2003; France last took the title in 2004.
"Playing England is always a big match and we will not need to motivate the players," French coach Bernard Laporte said.
Today, Scotland seeks to beat Ireland for the first time in eight years in the last match at the rundown Lansdowne Road stadium before it's refurbished.
Scotland has been the biggest surprise this season, beating France and England.
Ireland named lock Paul O'Connell in the second row after he passed a fitness test on his injured shoulder. O'Connell was injured in the 43-31 loss to France on Feb. 11 and missed the 31-5 Wales win, but is fit to pair up with Malcolm O'Kelly.
Wales hosts Italy in a bottom-of-the-table match today but coach Scott Johnson isn't prepared to let go of his country's title defense easily.
France has recalled scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili, who'll play in place of Jean-Baptiste Elissalde, as one of two changes from the team which initially struggled to beat Italy two weeks ago.
England recalled Matt Dawson in one of two changes to the team that lost 18-12 to Scotland last month. Only Dawson, wing Ben Cohen and center Mike Tindall were in the last England team to win at the Stade de France, while Lawrence Dallaglio again is a replacement.
In the final round of matches on March 18, it's England versus Ireland, Italy versus Scotland and Wales versus France.
IN-HOUSE BUSINESS: LA Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said that the reason for the team’s poor form was not due to Paul, but the player was not a good fit for them Chris Paul’s return stint with the Los Angeles Clippers has come to an abrupt and stunning end, with the franchise parting ways with one of its greatest players in a late-night meeting on Wednesday that adds another layer of drama to the team’s terrible start this season. The news was delivered in a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, that ended at about 2am, Clippers basketball operations president Lawrence Frank said. Frank said he made the decision to sever ties with Paul on Sunday then told the franchise’s career assist leader that he needed to see him on Tuesday in Atlanta. Frank did not confirm
Kylian Mbappe on Wednesday scored twice and had an assist as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 to end a three-match winless streak in La Liga. Eduardo Camavinga also found the net for Madrid as they moved back within one point of Barcelona, who beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Tuesday. Both 19th-round matches were moved forward because Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid are to play in the Supercopa de Espana semi-finals in Saudi Arabia next month. Real Madrid were coming off league draws against Girona, Elche and Rayo Vallecano. It was their second win in their past six matches in
PINA BRACE: Claudia Pina scored in the 61st and 74th minutes, while Vicky Lopez added one as Spain notched their third victory in a final in the past four tournaments Claudia Pina scored twice and Germany crumbled on Tuesday as Spain retained the UEFA Women’s Nations League title with a 3-0 victory in the final’s second leg. Vicky Lopez also scored after Pina finally broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with Germany stubbornly hanging on as Spain had done in the first leg, a 0-0 draw in Kaiserslautern on Friday. Spain were without three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati, who broke her leg in training on Sunday. Lopez took Bonmati’s place and Spain dominated from the start. Esther Gonzalez swept the ball just past the post and Mariona Caldentey forced a save
There was another win for Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday, but more misery for Liverpool and their under-fire manager, Arne Slot. While Arsenal accelerated their title charge with a 2-0 victory over Brentford to regain a five-point lead, Liverpool needed a late own-goal just to salvage a 1-1 draw with Sunderland AFC at Anfield. Slot is back under pressure, with his team languishing in eighth place in a disappointing title defense and his decision to leave star forward Mohamed Salah out of the starting lineup for a second straight game likely to be heavily scrutinized. “It’s clear that teams that play
