France leads Six Nations; Ireland and England still competitive

independent.co.uk

France's recent victory over Ireland has positioned them as favorites for the Six Nations title, bringing their total to 16 points. A bonus point win against Scotland in their final match would secure the championship for France. England remains in contention, needing two bonus point wins against Italy and Wales to have a chance. If they win both, they could reach 20 points, putting pressure on France's final match. Ireland's hopes for a third consecutive title have been weakened by their loss to France. They now sit at 14 points and must achieve a bonus point win against Italy to stay in the race, aiming for a total of 19 points.
