The Six Nations begins Round 2 on Saturday, Feb. 14 with a pair of matches and ends with France visiting Wales on Sunday, as the six teams look to either rebuild after devastating Round 1 losses, or surge ahead from the momentum of the opening round.
Philip Bendon of FloRugby broke down the Round 2 Six Nations lineups, with four teams naming matchday 23s so far.
Ireland hosts Italy in Dublin, where Andy Farrell has made several changes, including a dynamic back row of Caelan Doris at No. 7 and Jack Conan at No. 8. Craig Casey starts at scrumhalf, while James Lowe and Robert Baloucoune return on the wings.
England made just one change for the Calcutta Cup against Scotland, which reshuffled its pack after losing to Italy.
France, meanwhile, introduced two young centers for its clash with Wales and remains the heavy favorite heading into the weekend.
