After the victory over the British, the Blues undoubtedly hoped for the support of the Scots. He didn’t arrive. After France’s historic XV victory at Twickenham (10-53), Ireland went to Edinburgh to continue their flawless performance (7-22) and secure first place in the Six Nations Tournament. On Saturday 18 March, the last day of the competition, the French and Irish will meet in a duel at the distance for the coronation. The men in green leave with a clear advantage.
After four games, Ireland have won all their games and are still in contention to win the Grand Slam won by Les Bleus last year, while France only lost in Dublin. With 19 points to 15 for France, Johnny Sexton’s teammates hold their fate in their hands. If they win against England at home (18:00) and even if they are held back by a draw, the Irish will win the Six Nations Tournament.
Ireland crowned without a game unless France wins
France, who are playing two hours early (15:45), could put pressure on them. With a victory over Wales at the Stade de France, combined with a clear defeat for the Irish, Fabien Galtier’s men would be back to equal points (19) with their opponents at a distance. Then everything will be played out average targetlargely favorable for XV du Thistle at this stage (+66 for Ireland, +46 for France).
To retain their title, the Blues had to be inspired to win by scoring at least four tries and thus gain an offensive bonus. With 20 points on the clock, they will force the Irish to start the meeting with the British with a ban on losing or almost.
Since nothing will be offered to the Blues, this scenario may not be enough. In the event of a bonus victory for the tricolors, Ireland would also have been able to win the Tournament only due to a defensive bonus, namely a defeat by less than seven times. In this case, the two selections will end the competition with the same number of points (20), and only average target will decide between them.

“You have to finish well against the Welsh to have no regrets”– summed up the third link of the “blue” François Cros on Saturday evening. “We depend on Ireland’s results.” If a miracle does not happen, the XV of France can always take revenge in six months on the occasion of the World Cup organized in France. Only that.
