It all comes down to two matches tomorrow. An action packed day that will end with one winner.
First up, you have the battle of the challengers with Ireland and Scotland fighting tooth and nail for a chance at the title. Only one of them can still be standing after the early game. This isn't just about winning; it's about staying alive in a competition where the margin for error has shrunk to nothing. Whoever loses here is mathematically eliminated from contention, their championship dreams over before the evening kicks off.
Then you have the title fight at 8pm with France almost certainly nailed on for the title against the poorest England we have seen in a long, long time. Not in terms of players—they've got the talent—but in terms of performance. The gap between their potential and what we've actually witnessed on the pitch has been genuinely shocking. France knows they're in the driving seat, but complacency has killed better teams than this.
It's France's title to lose and I can't see that happening, but what if....
What if this 6 Nations can throw up one more surprise at the very end of the strangest competition I have ever witnessed? What if England can summon one ounce of pride tomorrow and actually win a match? It would require everything to click simultaneously, but stranger things have happened in rugby.
Scotland lose to Italy and Ireland lose badly to France. Ireland beat Italy, hammer England away, and struggle against Wales while Scotland hammer both England and France but then have to travel away to Ireland where they haven't won since 2008. That's the cruel mathematics of the fixture list.
In terms of current form, you'd have to pick a Scottish team that were so impressive last week, but in terms of history and head-to-head record, Ireland have the upper hand in this fixture. That's the tension at the heart of this prediction. Do you back the momentum or the precedent?
It's a genuinely hard one to pick.
