The 2025 Six Nations is heading into the business end, and the title race is wide open with just two rounds remaining.

Three teams – Ireland, France, and England – are still in contention, but only one can lift the trophy on 15 March.

Ireland chasing history

Andy Farrell's men (well, Simon Easterby's for now) are on the brink of history, aiming to become the first team ever to win three outright Six Nations titles in a row.

So far, it's been smooth sailing for the Irish, who brushed aside England, Scotland, and Wales. But two big tests remain – a showdown with France in Dublin and a final-day trip to Rome. Win both, and they'll complete a Grand Slam to take the title in style.

Even if they draw against France and beat Italy, that might be enough – but only if they grab at least one bonus point or their points difference is better than England's if both teams finish level on 20 points.

A loss to France would make things complicated. Ireland currently lead Les Bleus by three tournament points, but France's superior points difference (+91 to Ireland's +28) means Easterby's side would likely need to finish at least one point ahead to take the title. That means either picking up multiple bonus points in defeat or hoping Scotland can do them a favour by stopping France on the final day.
