Six Nations 2022 Round Five predictions

The 2022 Six Nations Championship ends this weekend with Super Saturday. Wales host Italy, Scotland travel to Ireland, France play England in Le Crunch and Ireland beat England at Twickenham. The final round of fixtures throws up two matches with outcomes likely to be straightforward.

Wales take on Italy at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, March 19th at 14:15. Wayne Pivac's side have improved in this tournament and could have been in with a real shout of title contention in Round Five if they had a full strength squad. Alun Wyn Jones returns to the squad to play a part in the Championship. Italy were at their best in their Round Four match against Scotland and scored more points than in all their previous three matches combined.

Ireland play Scotland in the Six Nations 2022 Round Five on Saturday, March 19 at 16:45 at Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Andy Farrell's side can still win the title, but they need to beat Scotland and hope England don't do them a favour in Paris. Scotland have pride on the line, and their defence has been criticised recently. Gregor Townsend's team have won the last six editions of this fixture.

France and England are playing each other in Paris on Saturday, March 19th. England beat Ireland last weekend, while France were beaten by Wales. France are chasing the Grand Slam and the Six Nations title. If England win, they will finish with nothing.
