Brett McKay and Harry Jones lay out the Games of the Week for the final full weekend of the Northern Spring Autumn Series Tours, the last chance for the Home Nations to save something from the November Tests, and for the southern hemisphere nations to reinforce their claims of global rugby domination.


Can Argentina spring one last upset? Can Ireland make one last statement? How much patience is left in Wales? Will New Zealand appease fans at home with a fourth Spring Tour win? Will Scotland blink first, or Australia? And will the full support of the board continue for Steve Borthwick?


This week’s Games of the Week:

• France v Argentina in Paris

• Wales v South Africa in Cardiff

• Italy v New Zealand in Turin

• Scotland v Australia in Edinburgh


Plus, the Top 14 is back: we like the sound of Toulon v Bayonne on Saturday
