Six Nations 2018 TV schedule: Round three fixtures, is there a Friday game? Stream details
THE SIX NATIONS continues this weekend with the third round of figures - and one of those is on a Friday!
Six Nations 2018 round three starts on Friday
England are seeking to defend their Six Nations crown won last year.
In doing so the Red Rose would be the first country to successfully win three straight Six Nations titles.
England are second in the Six Nations table, behind Ireland on points difference.
Both sides have claimed nine points so far, with Wales in third, Scotland fourth, France fifth and Italy dead last.
All that could change this weekend in what could be a crucial round in the moulding of the final Six Nations table.

England play Scotland this weekend
Six Nations 2018 round three Friday game
France vs Italy is the Friday game this week as organisers shift the usual Saturday/Sunday schedule to Friday/Saturday.
France are desperate for a win after collecting just two points so far this tournament.
Italy are also without victory and have conceded 102 points from their two matches so far.
The French will want to avoid the embarrassment of defeat, which would send them to the bottom of the table.
The match will take place at 8pm on Friday night in Marseille, rather than Paris.
