England managed to gain a big win against Italy earlier on Saturday 52-11, but that was not enough to overturn Ireland's points difference advantage.

That means Ireland come into their game against France with a superior points difference of +8 compared to England, and so if they can just gain any win today against France – even by one point – then the title will be theirs.

However, if Ireland and France play out a tie then it will be England that take the Six Nations title.

Meanwhile, France are not yet technically out of it. If they can defeat Ireland in Paris today they will move level on points with England, but because of England's superior points difference they would need to beat Ireland by a whopping 70 points – extremely unlikely.

However, the French playing in Paris are always a dangerous prospect, and they no doubt will want to defeat Ireland on the final game of the Championship to deny them the title.

Historically, things are not exactly in Ireland's favor. They have not fared well through the years in Paris. Since 1972, they have only won in Paris once – and even that was way back in 2000.

For Ireland, that one win on French soil was in large part due to Brian O'Driscoll's hat-trick. Ironically, he will be playing in his last game for Ireland ever today, as he is scheduled to retire at the end of today's game following a 15 year international career.
