Six Nations Rugby - Saturday 15th March - Super Saturday!

Published 13:12 on 11 Mar 2025

It's all to play for this weekend! England, France, Ireland are all still in contention of winning the Six Nations, although some have better odds than others in this weekend's Super Saturday. Why not come and spend the afternoon at KYC and watch these thrilling games unfold on the big screen.

For those interested in how it could play out (courtesy of sixnationsrugby.com):

France currently lead the table and have several routes to claiming the championship, depending on their result against Scotland and how England and Ireland perform in their respective matches.

  • Outright Victory: France will win the Championship if they defeat Scotland with a bonus point (BP), taking them to 21 points.
  • Win Without a BP: France can still secure the title with a victory (no BP) if England either wins without a BP, draws (with or without a BP), or loses (with or without a BP), keeping France on 20 points.
  • Draw Scenarios: A draw with a BP against Scotland will still secure the title if England and Ireland do not surpass them in points.
  • Losing and Bonus Points: If France lose but secure two BPs, they can still win if England and Ireland both lose without bonus points.
  • Points Difference: If France finish level on points with England or Ireland, their title chances depend on superior points difference, making every scoreline crucial.

England's path to the title hinges on their performance against Wales and the outcome of France's match.

  • Outright Victory: England will win the Championship if they beat Wales with a BP and France either draw or lose to Scotland. This would put them on 20 points.
  • Win Without a BP: If England win without a BP and France fail to win, England can claim the title with 19 points.
  • Draw or Close Loss: England can still win the Championship if they draw with a BP or lose with two BPs, provided France and Ireland both lose their matches.
  • Points Difference: If England and France finish level on points, England must surpass France on points difference to win.

Though slightly behind, Ireland still have a chance to claim the title if results go their way.

  • Outright Victory: Ireland will win the Championship if they beat Italy with a BP and both France and England fail to win their matches.
  • Win Without a BP: If Ireland win without a BP and both France and England lose, Ireland can take the title with 18 points.
  • Draw or Close Loss: If Ireland draw with a BP or lose with two BPs, they can still win the Championship if both France and England lose and they hold a superior points difference.
  • Points Difference: Like France and England, Ireland's title hopes may come down to points difference if teams are level on match points at the end of the tournament.

The only other option, which is a long shot, is for Scotland to lift trophy.

  • They defeat France with a bonus point and surpass them on points difference, provided France lose without earning a bonus point.
  • They finish ahead of England on points difference, assuming England lose to Wales but earn a bonus point.
  • They surpass Ireland on points difference if Ireland draw or lose to Italy while collecting two bonus points.
  • In this scenario, Scotland would finish on 16 points, with the title decided by points difference.
