The Six Nations enters the final weekend with an unexpectedly messy picture following England's stunning drop-goal triumph over Ireland last weekend.

Marcus Smith's last-gasp winner has set up an intriguing weekend and while Ireland's task is simple – beat Scotland, win the tournament – a defeat would blow the chase wide open.

Scotland remain in with a shout of clinching the trophy, but in another bizarre twist, a Scottish victory would actually clear the path for England to launch a smash-and-grab raid.

Reigning champions Ireland and 2022 victors France were the pre-tournament favourites to go all the way this time around. England went furthest of the Six Nations teams during the Rugby World Cup but remain inconsistent under Steve Borthwick's guidance.

Scotland and Wales are battling to restore their former glory, while Italy appear to be on an upward trajectory after ending their 36-match Six Nations losing streak in 2022.
