Six Nations Rugby Italy v Ireland
BBC 1.  14:05 - 16:30

Jason Mohammed presents live coverage of Italy v Ireland on the last day of the 2013 Six Nations.
The Italians will be hoping to finish the tournament in the manner they started, following an incredible win over France on the opening weekend. However, they will have to defy history if they are to beat Ireland - they have not beaten them in 13 previous Six Nations encounters, including a 42-10 loss last year.
For Ireland's players it will be a last chance to impress on the international stage before the British and Irish Lions squad is picked for the tour of Australia this summer. Commentary by Conor McNamara and Phillip Matthews, with expert analysis from Italian legend Marco Bortolami.

Six Nations Rugby Wales v England
BBC 1.  16:30 - 18:00

John Inverdale introduces live coverage from Cardiff as Wales take on old foes England on the final weekend of the 2013 Six Nations.
England ended a three-game losing streak in Cardiff when they won on their last Six Nations visit to the Millennium Stadium two years ago, but Wales were the victors in last year's clash when they triumphed 19-12 at Twickenham on their way to sealing the Grand Slam. Things did not go quite so well for the Welsh in the rest of 2012, but nothing stokes their fire quite like a visit from England, and a full-blooded encounter can always be expected.
Expert analysis comes from Sir Clive Woodward, Jeremy Guscott and Jonathan Davies, with commentary by Eddie Butler and Brian Moore.

Six Nations RugbyFrance v Scotland
BBC 2. 19:30 - 22:00

Gabby Logan introduces live coverage of the final match of the 2013 Six Nations as France take on Scotland at the Stade de France.
The French have endured their worst ever start to a Six Nations campaign to put the pressure firmly on coach Philippe Saint-Andre. However, they have only lost to the Scots once in the Six Nations era and never on home soil. In fact, Scotland have only managed two victories in France since 1969.
Commentary by Andrew Cotter and Lawrence Dallaglio, with expert analysis from Andy Nicol.
