England travel to meet Wales in round five of the Six Nations, with their 2025 title hopes still alive on Super Saturday.

Steve Borthwick’s side head to Cardiff best-placed to capitalise on any late wobble from leaders and clear favourites France, who, after their statement victory in Dublin in round four, will be expected to clinch their first championship since 2022 when they host inconsistent Scotland later in the evening despite the absence of injured superstar Antoine Dupont.

Ireland, Grand Slam dreams now wrecked for the second year in a row, are away in Italy first up, but will need to win massively in Rome and then hope that results in the other two matches go decisively in their favour to still have a chance at snatching a historic third successive Six Nations crown.

England know they need to win with a bonus point and hope that Scotland do them an enormous favour in Paris, with any French victory enough for them to take the title due to their hugely superior points difference.

While the odds are against them, Borthwick’s men should at least be soaring with confidence after turning their fortunes around of late with back-to-back fortuitous one-point wins over France and Scotland and a commanding seven-try, bonus-point thrashing of Italy last weekend to keep them in the mix.

However, all of those triumphs came at Twickenham and trips to Cardiff are never straightforward, even against a Wales side whose record losing run now stands at 16 successive Test defeats – 10 in a row in the Six Nations.

Their impressive resurgence in a brave losing effort against Ireland in round three under Warren Gatland’s temporary successor Matt Sherratt gave way to a worrying first half in Scotland, only for an excellent second at Murrayfield to see them fall only six points short in the end.

Wales – who have not won a single game since the 2023 World Cup – can still avoid a second successive wooden spoon this weekend after their two bonus points in Edinburgh, one more of which, thanks to their better points difference, could see them rise to fifth and condemn Italy to the foot of the table if the Azzurri don’t get anything at all at home to a wounded Ireland.

Wales vs England is the middle game of three on Six Nations Super Saturday (March 15, 2025), with kick-off slated for 4:45pm GMT. Italy vs Ireland is up first, with France vs Scotland to come last.
