Six Nations 2023: Fixtures, kick-off times, how to watch and latest odds
Scotland fly-half Finn Russell was at his creative best in a crushing 35-7 bonus-point win over Wales at Murrayfield on Saturday, a record victory in the contest.
It was also the first time since 1996 that Scotland had won their opening two matches in the competition.
Scotland are second in the Six Nations table with 10 points from their two games, only behind Ireland on points difference, while Wales have yet to break their duck as the return of coach Warren Gatland has failed to change their fortunes so far.
It was a first win for the Scots over Wales in Edinburgh since 2017, having lost five of the previous six meetings at all venues, and beat their previous record winning margin of 25 points set 99 years ago in 1924.
Ireland, meanwhile, struck a blow through French hearts ahead of the Rugby World Cup later this year with 32-19 victory at the Aviva Stadium. The Irish scored four tries to one in arguably their best home performance under coach Andy Farrell.
Tomorrow, England, licking their wounds after their opening defeat to Scotland, host a much-improved Italy side. Steve Borthwick has rung the changes, including dropping Marcus Smith to the bench.
When did the Six Nations 2023 start?
The Six Nations 2023 kicked off on Saturday, February 4, when Wales were comfortably beaten by Ireland in Cardiff. That was followed up by Scotland's brilliant win over England at Twickenham. The first weekend was rounded off by France, many people's favourite for the title, beating Italy 29-24 in a closely-fought affair in Rome.
In round two, Ireland secured a statement win over France and Wales were handed a lesson by the Scots.
The tournament reaches its conclusion on March 18 – 'Super Saturday' – when all three fixtures kick off on the same day, one after another.

How to watch the Six Nations live
Every game in the championship will be aired live on either BBC or ITV.
BBC lost the rights to broadcast France’s home matches in the men's Six Nations in 2022, which means that all matches in Paris will be shown on ITV. England matches are shared between the broadcasters, who began sharing rights across the competition in 2016.
S4C will be showing all Wales matches live, and RTE will have live coverage of seven of the 15 matches, including all Irish fixtures.
