Our predictions ahead of Round Three of the 2022 Six Nations

The 2022 Six Nations Championship returns after a bye-week. There are three international fixtures this weekend. Scotland welcome France to Murrayfield, England host Wales at Twickenham and Italy go to Dublin to take on Ireland.

Scotland play France in the third round of the 2022 Six Nations on Saturday, February 26th at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh. France beat Ireland 30-24 in round two. Scotland lost to Wales in Cardiff. They haven't won in Wales for 20 years. France are yet to play away from home in this year's championship. There will be a full house at the Murray Field. The team that wins will keep their Grand Slam hopes on track.

France will win the 2022 Six Nations by a 7-10 point margin.

England and Wales meet at Twickenham on Saturday, February 26th. The bookmakers have England as heavy favourites. Wales are confident after their Round Two win over Scotland. England beat Italy in Rome. Courtney Lawes is expected to return from injury. He could be named captain if he starts. He has been a consistent performer for England for a while. They were burned in the France v Ireland match. Eddie Jones doesn't want to repeat that mistake.

England are predicted to win the 2022 Six Nations by 10 to 14 points.

Ireland play Italy in Dublin on February 27th. The game is kick off at 15:00. Ireland won against France but they still have a lot to play for. Italy lost to France and were beaten by England. They are unsure about their place in the tournament. They play in Edinburgh and Cardiff before facing England in Round 5. It is unlikely that they will play against England before then.

Ireland are predicted to win by a 40+ point margin in the 2022 Six Nations.
