World News – GB – 2020 Six Nations table and permutations: latest standings and how England, Ireland or France can win

The 2020 Six Nations are set to end this weekend on ‘Super Saturday’, with three games remaining and all to be played for.

The 2020 Guinness Six Nations Championship will peak this Saturday – 237 days after being shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic

With three games to go on the so-called ‘Super Saturday’, it promises to be an exciting title race between Ireland, England and France

Here we take a look at how things might turn out, with Wales entertaining Scotland, England visiting Italy and Ireland traveling to France

Ireland controls title fate If they beat France in Paris on Saturday night with a bonus point, Andy Farrell’s side will be crowned champions A four-try no-bonus win might still be enough, though – as expected – England claim five points against Italy in Rome Tied teams are separated by a point difference, and Ireland are currently 23 points better off than England in this department Ireland will also know exactly what to do, as the game at Stade de France is Saturday’s last game

Eddie Jones’ men have to see Italy at Stadio Olimpico categorically, but that’s a likely scenario, given that England have beaten the Azzurri in the previous 26 encounters and have scored over 1,000 points Realistically, England might demand something like a 40-point or more winning margin, but it’s something they’ve achieved six times in the Championship’s 20-year history. All England can do is complete their share of the work done in pursuit of a first Six Nations title since 2017, then wait for France and Ireland to battle it out in Paris

France was revitalized under new head coach Fabien Galthie, beating England and then Wales in Cardiff as they took three wins in their first four starts of this season’s Six Nations Losing to Scotland the last time around, however, reduced their title chances They warmed up for Ireland by easily seeing Wales in a friendly last weekend, but they will indeed need some ‘a complete victory in bonus points for gatecrash on England Day, if Les Bleus toppled Ireland for only the second time in the country’s last seven league games

Scotland’s distant title hopes have faded with Ireland’s bonus points victory over Italy three days ago, but they will travel to Llanelli for a date with Wales in a confident atmosphere They enter the game after easily seeing Georgia in a friendly last week, and will be reinforced by the return of two-time trophy-winning stars from Exeter Chiefs, Stuart Hogg, Jonny Gray and Sam Skinner. Scotland haven’t won an away win over Wales in 18 years, but they have every chance this weekend

Grand Slam champions Wales last year at the helm of head coach Warren Gatland’s last season, suffered a fourth straight loss, losing 38-21 to their friendly opponent , France three days ago It’s their worst result streak since 2016, and while they can’t fight for the Six Nations title, a win is essential on Saturday not to lose momentum under head coach Wayne Pivac Wales are certainly good enough to come off against any opponent, but the pressure is on

Italy resign themselves to finishing last in the Six Nations for a 15th time, and continue to make little progress against their Six Nations rivals They have conceded 144 points and 20 tries in this season’s tournament and made facing a Herculean task to prevent a crushing defeat when England arrive in Rome this weekend With every major defeat in Italy, the debate over promoting and relegating the Six Nations screams louder at them
