Back in action.

The Six Nations returns this weekend with three more massive fixtures as we approach the business end of the competition.

Up first Ireland host Scotland in a huge clash at the Aviva Stadium. Englishman Wayne Barnes is set to take charge of that game, with Scotland making their feelings known this week as to how they want the game controlled.

After that we’ve got England taking on France in Paris, as they look to bounce back from defeat to Scotland. South African Jaco Peyper will take charge of that affair.

Finally on Sunday Wales will welcome Italy to the Principality, with France’s Jérôme Garcès set to take charge here.
