    • Italy enter Round 5 on a 31-match Six Nations losing streak after falling to Wales, 48-7, in Round 4.
      • For the sixth straight year, Italy will finish last in the Six Nations table and be awarded the Wooden Spoon.
    • Scotland lost to Ireland, 27-24, in Round 4, eliminating them from title contention.
    • Ireland face rival England in Round 5 looking to secure a top-three Six Nations finish for the eighth straight tournament.
    • Defending champion England beat France, 23-20, at home in Round 4.
