The Current State of the Championship

The Six Nations Championship has taken shape, with three teams still harboring ambitions of lifting the trophy on March 15. France's bonus-point win over Ireland has taken them clear of their penultimate opponents at the top of the table, despite their earlier defeat to England. Ireland, meanwhile, is still in the hunt, but their task has become significantly harder after a damaging defeat.

  • France: 16 competition points, with a vastly superior points difference
  • Ireland: 14 points, chasing an unprecedented three-peat
  • England: 10 points, with two wins and one loss, still in contention

Path to Victory

Each team's path to victory is complex, with various permutations and scenarios. France needs another bonus-point win against Scotland to make certain of the title. England, meanwhile, requires a bonus-point win against Wales and hopes for a favor from Scotland. Ireland must secure a bonus-point win over Italy and rely on other results to go their way. * France: win against Scotland with a bonus point to secure the title * England: bonus-point win against Wales and a favor from Scotland * Ireland: bonus-point win over Italy and reliance on other results

The Final Stretch

The championship will be decided on Super Saturday, with England traveling to Cardiff to take on Wales. The outcome of this match, combined with the results of France vs. Scotland and Ireland vs. Italy, will determine the ultimate winner. With consistency key, England must put in near-flawless performances to hope for a final victory. The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the 2025 Six Nations Championship.
