What time do the Six Nations rugby fixtures kick off today? TV channels and live stream info

The penultimate round of the Six Nations is here, and the pressure is on for everyone to perform after France beat Wales on Friday evening.

Wayne Pivac's men failed to convert pressure and territory into points and fell to a 13-9 defeat to Grand Slam-chasing Les Bleus. Read more on the reasons for Wales' defeat here.

Moving on to Saturday, Scotland travel to Rome to take on Italy, before England and Ireland battle it out at Twickenham in the day's late kick-off, with both sides trying to catch Les Bleus at the top of the table.

Here's everything you need to know for round four of the 2022 Six Nations:

Kick-off times for Six Nations fourth round

Saturday, March 12: Italy v Scotland and England v Ireland

Italy v Scotland kicks off at 2.15pm UK time/3.15pm local time in Rome. Gregor Townsend's side have had a torrid time since their victory over England on the opening weekend, falling to defeat Wales and France, but will be looking to get back to winning ways against Italy, who again find themselves bottom of the table.

Scotland will be without powerful wing Duhan van der Merwe, who will miss the remainder of the Six Nations through suspension after getting sent off for Worcester against London Irish. The match is being shown live on ITV1, with coverage starting at 1.30pm, while fans can also live stream via the ITV Hub.

England v Ireland fills the Saturday late afternoon slot, kicking off at 4.45pm. Eddie Jones has said his side is treating this weekend's Twickenham clash as a semi-final, with both teams needing a win to remain in contention for Six Nations glory.

Ireland captain Jonny Sexton - who this week announced he would retire after the 2023 World Cup - returns to the starting line-up, while Sam Simmonds will start at No. 8 for the hosts with Alex Dombrandt on the bench. The match is being shown live on ITV1, with coverage starting at 4.15pm, while fans can also live stream via the ITV Hub.
