Six Nations title permutations – who needs what?

In the Six Nations title race, only France and England are still in place.

Ireland’s bonus-point victory over Italy temporarily elevated them to the top of the standings on Super Saturday, but England’s rout over Wales in Cardiff elevated Steve Borthwick’s side by a point.

France needed to defeat Scotland to claim the title in the final day, which had France in the lead.

The title will be decided based on points difference if both teams finish level on points, including bonuses.

The French will receive the trophy at the Stade de France if they win the Six Nations.

All eyes will turn to Cardiff if they lose to Scotland and lose to England in the championship game.

England will leave their team hotel and travel to the Principality Stadium if it appears that France could be defeated at half-time.

England has won seven titles since 2000 when it first first won the Six Nations, but they haven’t won one since 2020.

Six titles have been won by Scotland and Italy, while France, Ireland, and Wales have all won them.

With four each, Ireland has three Grand Slams, while England and Wales have two.
