Referees to 5 March 2012
The Six Nations matches this weekend are catch-ups from matches postponed because of freezing weather. Dave Pearson, who had to postpone the match at Stade de France, gets his chance again.
A calf-muscle injury to Glen Jackson forced his withdrawal from the Brisbane match, his place taken by Ian Smith.
