Rugby: The exciting last day of the six nations: four possible winners, everything can happen

He does not show the most complete rugby and only one of his selections once won a World Cup but The six nations is based on a magnet for fans: the rivalry. Secular, annual, imperishable. An incentive to which uncertainty is usually added, which this year will probably last until the end of the last meeting. Three sets have real possibilities – and a room, remote mathematical options – to conquer the tournament this Saturday on the last day. If an unknown has been cleared: in 2025 there are no undefeated champion.

After four meetingsFrance leads the classification with 16 points, followed by England (15), Ireland (14) and Scotland (11). As the victory is four points, and an extra is distributed when a team scores four or more rehearsals, these sets aspire to the title. But not in the same conditions. The fifteen Gallic enters the final stretch with the advantage that it depends on itself. And, secondly, with the peace of mind that, except for scandal this Saturday, the draws in the final classification will favor it because the first criterion is the global difference of points and carries +106, far ahead of England (+20) and Ireland (+13). There will be drama above and drama below. Italy, with 4 points, and Wales, with 3, will compete in parallel to avoid dishonor of the last position.

The decisive day starts at the time of the food and concludes after dinner. Italy and Ireland open on Saturday in Rome (15:15, Spanish peninsular time; the three games, in Movistar+). The visiting team still aspires to become the first to take the tournament three consecutive. Something that has never happened since, in 2000, it was included precisely to Italy. You must overcome, better scoring four or more rehearsals and for broad difference, and expect a stumbling block from England and then another from France. Complicated.

If Ireland cannot influence these hypothetical others, in the last week the certainties over its domain during the two previous editions have crumbled. Last Sunday he fell to France in Dublin for an unexpected 27-42 with two last essays that made up his defeat. Hard is the feeling that its very reliable diesel engine was overcome. However, Irish are favorites in Rome and will try to sentence as soon as possible. Italy also plays a lot. A victory would give him the prestige and confirmation that plant face to all. And pride. In his last game in Rome, France did nothing less than 74 points.

At 17:45 Wales receives England In a meeting seasoned by the difficult neighborhood, summarized for the anecdotary in the hyperbolic, perhaps retouched, harangue of Captain Phil Bennet to his teammates in 1977. “Look what those bastards have done to Wales. They have taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our houses and only use them a fortnight a year, vacation. And what have given us? Subjected and punished by the English. That team won; The talent was left over. Without reaching such a memorial of grievances, the fifteen premises imperiously needs the triumph for very different reasons. He has lost his last 16 games.

In front, England requires, in addition to the French stumbling, victory and, if possible, scoring four or more rehearsals. It is better equipment than the host and should be imposed. Without having made a great tournament, having defeated two meetings in the last sigh and by a single point, The English are planted on the last day with the possibility of winning the six nations. They can trust their attack. A week ago they put seven essays to Italy (47-24), three of them almost followed at the beginning of the second half to close a clash until then matched.

The Supersabado and the six nations 2025 will conclude with the match they play in Paris (21:00) France and Scotland. The premises reconquest the tournament if they win marking four or more rehearsals; It is very possible that the victory serves them without reaching that number of brands. And, yet, it is presumably that they can judge them for their very wide previous scores.

Las very remote Scotland options They go through a triple carambola: the defeats of Ireland and England and their triumph in Paris marking four or more rehearsals and with a difference of 52 or more points. In rigor, what makes this set dangerous is not so much that almost impossible calculation as its unpredictability, the pleasure of giving a dislike to the host that prepares the party. Will it happen? It is difficult.

France is very motivated by the injury of its leader, Antoine Dupont. He received a week ago in Dublin, in a spontaneous grouping, a strong lateral impact on the right knee that has caused a breakage of the anterior cross ligament. The controversy about whether it was a circumstance of the game or an intentional load rereciated in the following days. His federation has tried without success to be summoned to two Irish players before a disciplinary commission. His teammates, who reacted on the grass with an exhibition of good game, want to dedicate the tournament to the great captain and, of course, Prove that a good team is able to overcome the absence of its brightest star.
