Scotland defeated Italy 31-19 and France hammered Wales 43-0 at the Stade de France in Paris over the course of Friday and Saturday.
There are also other cups in contention during the tournament, sponsored by Guinness, including the Triple Crown Trophy, awarded if England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales defeats the other three home nations.
Aside from the silverware, there is also a sizeable prize fund up for grabs which could mean millions of pounds go to the winning team.

The new contracts also mean the England coach Steve Borthwick has tighter control over all sports science and medical matters in relation to the players.
Outside of their commitments for the England team, the players also play and earn at club level with separate salaries which can range from tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
But many players will be receiving salaries much lower than this from their clubs.
