The final game of the 2004 Six Nations Championship will involve England taking on France in a concluding "Super Saturday".
Although this year's championship came down to the final game - where Ireland lost heavily to England at Lansdowne Road - Six Nations chiefs believe a more fitting final fixture should be between England and France.
Jacques Laurans, Chairman of the Six Nations Committee said: "In planning the fixture schedule for 2004, our aim has been to build on the success of this year's tournament, which was the most widely-viewed of recent times.
"Television audiences were up from 75 million to 95 million, with the Grand Slam-deciding final match attracting an audience share in Britain of more than 50 per cent."
John Feehan, Six Nations chief executive, said: "The seven-week format for the tournament, introduced for the first time this year, has been judged by most commentators to have been a great success. Designed to replicate the concentrated playing period of a Rugby World Cup, its effect has been to give the Six Nations an added sense of momentum and excitement".
