It ends today, and at first glance it’s Ireland’s to lose. Second too, but a third you can maybe see a route. Scotland beat Ireland and England beat France, some bonus point arithmetic in there too. But first…
Wales v Italy
Spoon decider here. Italy off the back of a well earned win vs Scotland. Wales licking wounds, but keen to avoid the spoon. Hope for an early try or this could be a nervy knock fest
Ireland vs Scotland
In theory Scotland could still win, but really Toonie hasn’t produced any goods in this fixture in the last 9. Ireland have been not as good as 2023, but a shock last week will see them fired up. Triple crown is on the line here too
France vs England
Hold on to your livers, late 9pm local kick off here. And if Scotland somehow do England a favour, this one will be juicy. Even without an earlier upset both teams looking for a strong finish and to build. Probably the game of the day, if you mind it tomorrow!
Who’s out? Any predictions pre matches?
Gutted that England lost, but actually feel like 3rd showed an improvement from even the start of the tournament.
Delighted for Italy and a bit disappointed by Scotland in the end.
Overall - this was a really cracking championship. One of the best for a while and it’s looking very healthy going forward!
I think England were better today for 60% of that match. France made good use of ball though, making more of 22 visits. Unlike Scotland. And lets not talk about Wales
