So, you’re saying there’s a chance?

Well, when it comes to the Triple Crown, Ireland have a massive chance of getting their hands back on the silverware.

But when it comes to reclaiming the Six Nations championship, Andy Farrell’s men are relying on help from elsewhere.

In fact, they are probably relying on a miracle in the form of England getting a good result against France.

But first Ireland just need to their job against a Scotland side chasing glory themselves following their impressive win over the French last weekend.

Ahead of ‘Super Saturday’, here is everything you need to know.

How can Ireland win the Six Nations?

Ireland must hope that France do not beat England, as they cannot catch up on points if Les Bleus take the win.

A France-England draw would mean that an Ireland bonus-point win would snatch the championship while they will also win the championship with any win over Scotland and if England beat France.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off on Saturday afternoon is set for 2.10pm. Wales vs Italy begins at 4.40pm before 'Super Saturday' concludes with France v England, which will begin at 8.10pm.
