Victory for England.
And that doesn't help France's business… For its first match in more than eight months, the XV de la Rose dominated Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome (5-34) this Saturday, on the fifth day of the Six Nations Tournament.
Enhanced success which allows the English to continue to dream of European coronation.
They occupy in any case the head of the classification before the meeting which must oppose Ireland (14 pts) and France (13 pts) this Saturday evening (9 p.m., live commented).
The keys to a possible coronation of the Blues?
You have to beat Ireland with the bonus… and above all by a minimum of 32 points.
Mission impossible… Italy (0 pt) inherits its tenth “wooden spoon”, the fifth in a row.
Finally, an enhanced success against the XV of France will suffice for Ireland to win the Tournament.
