Six Nations 2025: Title and Wooden Spoon permutations

Advertisements

The penultimate round of the Six Nations takes place this weekend with France able to secure back-to-back titles by beating Scotland on Saturday.

To keep their championship hopes alive, Andy Farrell’s Ireland need a big win over Wales on Friday.

But should Ireland win without a bonus point, or lose, Les Bleus would need any sort of victory in Edinburgh to secure the title.

A bonus-point win at Murrayfield for Fabien Galthie’s side, who have won every game with maximum points so far, is enough to claim the crown regardless of other results.

If France lose but pick up at least a point, or Scotland win without a bonus point, Galthie’s side remain in control given their superior points difference.

A Scotland bonus-point win and nothing for the visitors would leave Gregor Townsend’s side in a position to win the title by claiming another maximum-point win in their final match against Ireland in Dublin.

After missing out on a bonus point against Italy, Farrell’s side will likely need last year’s champions to lose their final two games to keep alive their hopes.

France, who are chasing a first Grand Slam since 2022, host England in the final game of the tournament, while Italy travel to Cardiff to face Wales.
