Minute-by-minute report: A Six Nations showdown awaits in Paris. Join Daniel Gallan for all the latest news

First of all thank you for your coverage of today’s match. As a Frenchman I will hope for the hosts winning it, even if the title is gone now. Scotland do look very much up for this though and who can win at Twickenham can win in Paris.title can be won by a fairly average team. If you get lucky enough to host 3 times, have some of the weakest teams away and have an open field with other teams being average you can win without being exceptional.

“But if you extend the reasoning a bit.... There’s clearly nothing more exceptional than back to back grand slams, which means you won everywhere. But now one grand slam.... If lucky enough, this can be done without being that good. Raising the question: who do you think it’s the better team, the one managing to win a grand slam or the one winning back to back titles ?

“Sorry I’m in the train in the south of France, it’s raining as if to make the Promenade des Anglais look like a South English resort town, and I’m very obviously bored.Thanks for that. And you’re right. There’s a reason no team has won back to back grand slams in the Six Nations era. I really thought France would do it, or at least I hoped they’d do it. No anti-Ireland sentiment, just really like this France outfit.

Most G20 nations condemn Russia for war but China stays silentA meeting of G20 finance ministers in India fails to reach an end-of-meeting communique due to differences over the war in Ukraine.
