Round 3

Saturday, 21 February 2026

• England vs Ireland, Twickenham Stadium, London, 14:10 GMT

• Wales vs Scotland, Principality Stadium, Cardiff, 16:40 GMT

Sunday, 22 February 2026

• France vs Italy, Stade Pierre Mauroy, Lille, 15:10 GMT

England and Ireland were seen as France's main challengers to the Grand Slam but have suffered defeats in their opening two games and need a win this weekend to keep any hopes of the title alive.

Steve Borthwick's men look the side in better shape despite a fairly hefty loss at Murrayfield, with Ireland scraping past Italy last weekend after getting mauled by France. The odds are heavily in the hosts' favour but we think it still could be a fairly even contest, so an England winning margin of between 1-12 feels like good value.

An extremely mixed campaign has seen a disappointing defeat to Italy before they blew England away at times at Murrayfield as they raced to a 31-20 win.

Scotland are now the frontrunners to win the Triple Crown and will fancy themselves to get the better of a flailing Wales side. Having managed a bonus point with four tries against England, we think Gregor Townsend's men will go one better and notch five at the Principality Stadium.

France are the only side yet to taste defeat and look nailed on in the odds to defend their title - but a first Grand Slam since 2022 will undoubtedly be at the back of their minds.

There is no doubt that Italy will be pleased with their showing too, however, having given Ireland a real scare last week following on from their thrilling win over Scotland and they will fancy themselves to cause more issues at Lille's Stade Pierre on Sunday.

That said, Les Bleus are a different beast right now and should have enough to claim a comfortable win. After breaching the 50-point barrier last weekend, we think a -27.5 handicap win could be on the cards.
