If you're lucky enough to have tickets for Ireland v Scotland next week, bring snacks.
It could be a very long Saturday at Aviva Stadium, where a Triple Crown - and maybe even a Six Nations title - will be on the line.
Scotland’s sensational 50-40 win against France on Saturday has blown the championship wide open.
Gregor Townsend’s side already knew they would be travelling to Dublin chasing a first Triple Crown since 1990, but there could even be a Six Nations championship up for grabs, if England can do someone a favour in Paris.
Who would have thought this would be the Super Saturday offering back in early February?
Two days after Ireland had their doors blown off by France, Scotland drowned in the Roman rain, leading to calls for Townsend to get the sack.
If he can win Scotland their first Triple Crown for 36 years and end their 11-game losing run against Ireland, he might get a statue.
In the immediate aftermath of Ireland's 27-17 win against Wales on Friday night, head coach Andy Farrell sounded grateful for their extra day of rest ahead of Scotland’s arrival next week, and the visitors appear to have injury concerns over three of their key players after Gregor Brown, Huw Jones and Kyle Steyn limped out of Murrayfield yesterday.
Even before Scotland turned the championship on its head, Farrell said he would expect them to be "relishing" coming to Dublin with a trophy on the line, and with a World Cup pool game between these sides on the horizon in 2027, these next two Six Nations meetings will have that narrative hanging over them.
Even if France wrap up their title next week, a Triple Crown and a second-place finish would represent a solid return for this Irish side, which has seen 32 players see gametime amid a lengthy list of injured frontline stars.
"You've got to find out about people," Farrell said on Friday night about his efforts to widen the selection net this year.
"I said it during the week, this is not freebies we're giving them. We're giving the starts or the chances out to people who deserve it.
"It just shows that the whole of the squad is hungry to be part of it and grow their squad.
"It's nice to feel that the whole squad thinks it's their team, you know, and they're all trying to contribute to us pushing forward."
The Ireland coach would have been forgiven for being more conservative with his selections last week, particularly off the back of their impressive performance against England.
Instead, Farrell tweaked a third of his starters, giving Tom O’Toole, Rónan Kelleher, Nick Timoney, Jack Conan and Jacob Stockdale gametime, while Nathan Doak made his debut off the bench.
His side got the job done on Friday, the bonus-point win enough to hold off the challenge of a spirited and improving Wales, who made a phenomenal 240 tackles.
As impressive as Wales were, at times Ireland were their own worst enemy as they tried to run through the visitors rather than around them, while Farrell admitted his team lacked patience both in attack and defence.
"I thought we overplayed sometimes around halfway," he added.
"Sometimes you've just got to respect what the opposition are doing well and it was defending pretty well, so a bit of territory is what we needed to take the pressure off, I would have thought.
"The speed of ball was nowhere near as quick as it was last week and the clear and obvious thing that they were doing was hitting in twos, slowing the ball down, almost playing up and in from the edge defence there.
"And when we kept going out the back and playing off slow ball, then we're playing into their hands really. Yeah, we need to be better than that really."
The sense that Ireland were happy with their efforts, but not thrilled, was echoed by the players.
Tadhg Beirne referenced the "overplaying" in their own half, while Jamison Gibson-Park described the win as "scrappy", while Kelleher (above) admitted they "didn't hit the same level" as they had reached in their 42-21 defeat of England two weeks ago.
"I’m just happy we got over the line and got the bonus point, which is the most important thing as it keeps us alive," the Leinster hooker said.
"I think it's very easy to get lulled into a false sense that you're going to show up and do a job, which will never ever be the case, especially in this competition.
"Every game is so tough, so we were obviously happy getting the bonus-point. We were all very aware we were a little bit inaccurate at times, especially in the 22 at converting that kind of pressure to points but all credit to them [Wales]."
While Ireland won a Triple Crown last year, that achievement went slightly under the radar, having secured it by Round 3, with the post-Six Nations coverage centring on how their campaign tailed off down the stretch.
Lifting any silverware would be a welcome return for this championship, especially considering their disappointing start in Paris.
"It is massive for us," the Kelleher added.
"We're obviously really looking forward to next week now. We've put ourselves in a good position to win that Triple Crown.
"I think there's still potentially a chance of us winning a championship as well, which is always obviously the number one thing. But it's still massive for us as a group.
"It's obviously well-documented that they [Scotland] have world-class talent throughout their team.
"I suppose we're just going to have to get back to work on Monday morning, preview the game there and get ready to go."
