Third day of the 6 Nations Tournament this weekend with the French XV facing Italy.
After a short week of break and above all preparation, the teams from the 6 Nations Tournament are back this weekend with first of all Ireland facing Wales in the clash of this day. The Irish, in the event of a victory, will be able to approach their future trip to England in two weeks with more serenity. The English, in fact, will have to face a very good Scottish team, winner of Wales and not far from the feat against the XV of France a fortnight ago.

Faced with the adversary, in theory, the weakest, the gang Fabien Galthié will have to impose their game and put their best foot forward to try to reassure and believe again in the final victory in this 6 Nations Tournament. But be careful, Italy is still capable of making shots and the Italians did not go far against England on the first day and did not sink against Ireland on the last day…
