Defending champions England may not be able to retain their crown this year but they demonstrated their class with a memorable victory against France in Round 4.

Meanwhile, Andy Farrell’s men made it back-to-back Championship wins with victory over Scotland last time out and will also be bidding to finish their campaign on a high.

And then on Saturday evening, all eyes will be on Stade de France in Paris where unbeaten Wales will attempt to clinch their second Grand Slam in three years.

Wayne Pivac’s side made it four wins from four against Italy and could wrap up the title if they can complete the clean sweep with victory against France in Super Saturday’s finale.

But a home triumph for Les Bleus could keep their title hopes alive.
