Referees to 23 February 2015
As the world recovers from its Valentine's Day hangover, there is only one Test match when neighbours meet in Amsterdam, the fun capital of the Low Countries.
The Six Nations has a week off this weekend after close encounters in Dublin and Edinburgh but a comfortable win for England though Italy did better than the score suggests.
This is the second week of Super Rugby after the massive upsets of the first weekend where six away teams won out of seven matches. The match between the Chiefs and the Brumbies in New Plymouth could be the big one to watch.
In Italy on Sunday there is the Final of the Trofeo Eccellenza.
