The 2021 Guinness Six Nations heads into Round 2 this week and fans in the UK and Ireland can watch every second, with comprehensive coverage across all three matches.

The weekend begins with England and Italy both looking to bounce back from Round 1 defeats when they meet at Twickenham before Scotland and Wales will want to keep their Grand Slam hopes on track at BT Murrayfield.

Then on Sunday, a rampant France side head to the Aviva Stadium in search of a first win in Dublin since 2011 but will find a resilient Ireland side – who impressed with 14 men for 65 minutes before slipping to defeat in Round 1 – standing in their way.

For fans in the Republic of Ireland, Virgin Media has you well covered. Saturday’s action begins at 1.30pm, offering 45 minutes of build-up to England and Italy, before going straight to BT Murrayfield for the second game of the day.

On Sunday, there’s an hour of build-up to Ireland’s latest Guinness Six Nations clash against France, with the cameras rolling at 2pm ahead of a 3pm kick-off.

In the UK, ITV is the place to be first up on Saturday afternoon with the broadcaster showing England v Italy from 1.30pm before BBC One take the reins at 4pm ahead of Scotland v Wales – which is also live on Welsh broadcaster S4C.

And on Sunday, you can watch the mouth-watering clash between Ireland and France on ITV from 2.15pm.
