Six Nations: Build-up as title favourites Ireland host Scotland

Should bonus points be in the Six Nations? BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones has his say on BBC Radio 5 Live: 'It is nothing to do with England. It is to do with the fact it is nonsense if someone wins the title with three wins and someone finishes second with four. Let's hope that doesn't happen. “There was always the fear that bonus points were going to be a bad idea at some point, but there are plenty of examples where bonus points have helped teams keep playing.

Ireland against Wales is a good example - teams going for a fourth try to keep the game alive. “I see why they are in but I don't think they should be in the Six Nations. Let's hope there isn't a scenario where Ireland are 10 points down and kick a penalty to lose by seven to get a losing bonus point to win the title. That would just feel wrong. “The great thing about the Six Nations is winning and losing.
