Everything you need to know about as Ireland chase the championship and the history books
What is the state of play in the table and permutations?
Should France win by less than 13 points against Wales, or fail to get a four-try bonus point, a losing bonus point will win the championship for Ireland. Should France by 20 or more points against Wales, with a bonus point, then Ireland must either draw the game or beat England. Beating England will ensure the championship, the Triple Crown and the coveted Grand Slam, go to the home team at the Aviva.
“That’s the reality. So that will be a massive motivation for them. Is that bigger motivation than what we’re gonna experience playing at home for a Grand Slam game on St Patrick’s weekend? We’ll see.” ] Gerry Thornley writes of Sexton: “Given Sexton has been such a good ambassador for the Irish team and Irish rugby, it’s always seemed slightly curious when even some home fans among Leinster’s provincial rivals like to make him the pantomime villain, and the loud booing when Sexton’s face appeared on screen from the stands during the France-Ireland game a year ago certainly portrayed them as a pantomime crowd of Shakespearean proportions.
