The XV of France can still win in this 6 Nations.
The last day of the 6 Nations Tournament promises to be spectacular. Thanks to its victory against Wales, the XV of France can still afford the right to dream and win the 6 Nations even if the scenario is unlikely. As Rugbyrama explains, for France to win, it would be necessary:
- An improved victory for the French XV against England, with a difference in the score which would allow the Blues to close a very large part of their gap in points difference compared to Ireland (+4 for France, +80 for Ireland).
- A victory for Scotland in Ireland, without either team taking the bonus. Scotland would still have to win by a sufficient margin for France to be ahead of Ireland on points difference.
- Or a victory for Scotland with the offensive bonus in Ireland, without Scotland ultimately obtaining a better difference in points than France (both teams are at +4 and Scotland dominates France in terms of of tries scored, second criterion looked at after the difference in points in the event of a tie).
