Wales vs Italy is the warm act for the games that matter. Ireland face Scotland in Dublin at 4.45pm (12.45pm ET, 9.45am PT) before all eyes turn to kick-off at the Stade de France at 8pm (4pm ET, 1pm PT) on Saturday evening.
The last time Les Bleus won the championship was in 2010, when they also achieved the Grand Slam. The form book would suggest that the repeat is on, and deservedly so.
Ireland are their closest challengers, despite losing to France in Round 2, with Andy Farrell's men securing the Triple Crown in Round 4 with an impressive victory at Twickenham. The Scots have proved tricky customers this tournament and could well be a thistle in Irish sides all the way up to the final whistle on Saturday. It's going to get tense.
