Ireland have the destiny of the 2020 Six Nations championship in their own hands as a bonus point win in Paris on Saturday will secure the title, but it is England, seeking another big win in Italy, who are the odds-on favourites to lift the trophy.
To make sure of the title Ireland would need a four-try victory in the final game of Saturday's triple-header . However, in their 45 championship matches in France over the last 110 years Ireland have never won with four tries. So, England will play in their 1645 kick off knowing that a bonus-point win with something like a 30-40 point margin is likely to be enough to secure a third title in five years - though of course they will have to wait to find out. Again, the form lines suggest this is a likely outcome.
