The European spotlight returns to international matters this weekend as the Six Nations representatives look to resume their bids for the 2015 title following a deserved week's rest.

Some teams have come back from a week of club rugby in better shape than others, however, ahead of what promises to be the most significant round of this year's tournament.

Ireland and England's clash in Dublin has the potential to be a title decider, while France and Wales prepare to collide with intentions of reigniting their campaigns.

Read on for a breakdown of the latest team news for each tie, along with Week 3 schedule and title odds.



 

Team News

Scotland vs. Italy

Scotland were left disappointed on Wednesday after it was announced by BBC Sport Scotland that Finn Russell would see his ban upheld for this weekend's clash against Italy:



Vern Cotter will be forced to switch up his back line as a result of the suspension, with Russell a notable absence after just managing to find some fortune in the No. 10 jersey.

The announcement followed the news that Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni would miss out on the tie after being bit on the nose by a dog in a freak accident, per Irish Independent Sport:



Marco Bortolami is another experienced figure missing out for the Azzurri after leaving the defeat to England early, while Luca Morisi continues as the replacement at outside centre.

He's filling in for Michele Campagnaro, who's likely to miss the rest of the tournament. However, following a two-try display against England, journalist Brendan Gallagher rates the 24-year-old highly:



Euan Murray, a devout Catholic, is free to come back into the squad with Week 3's tie taking place on a Saturday, giving Cotter a welcome boost in the front row.
