Wales v France
England v Ireland
Wales, having already won the Triple Crown for a record third time in succession, now have France between them and the Grand Slam. But as France are also undefeated so far this season the clash at the National Stadium is just as vital for them. England have not beaten Ireland at Twickenham since 1970 but must feel encouraged after their competent victory over Scotland a fortnight ago. Commentator at Cardiff

Up the Workers: the Bee State
If the phrase ' Busy as a bee ' means nothing to you, just consider for a moment these facts: the honey stomach of the honey bee is the size of a pin-head; to fill it the bee has to visit 1,500 clover blossoms, and the contents of 60 full honey stomachs would fill a thimble.
A pound of honey on the breakfast table means that a bee must fly a total flight path equivalent to three orbits round the earth.
This film is a unique record of the inner workings of the hive and also shows just how far man will go to obtain the bees' gold -honey.
