France, England, ireland and Italy can all still win the 6 nations.
Country P W D L For Against Points
France 4 3 0 1 109 67 6
Ireland 4 3 0 1 98 60 6
England 4 3 0 1 101 88 6
Italy 4 2 0 2 70 96 4
Scotland 4 1 0 3 76 107 2
Wales 4 0 0 4 59 95 0
Th first team that can be dismissed is Italy, for them to win they would need to beat Ireland, Scotland to beat France and Wales to beat England. In addition they would require both themselves and Scotland to win their respective encounters by astronomical margins(i.e 30 point victories each). Amazingly I saw odds of 300-1 for Italy to win the six nations. In my opinion it is more like 10,000-1.
England have a better chance than Italy however because of their inferior scoring difference they really require both france and Ireland to fail to win their respective matches, if this ocurs and England beat wales they will then be crowned champions. Alternatively were Ireland or France or both to win England could become champions by winning by a margin roughly 30 points greater than France or Ireland win their games.
Ireland can win the six nations by beating Italy by 5 points more than France beat Scotland.They can also win by losing by 5 points less than France if England also lose by any score.
France will win if no one elsce does!
i.e if they beat Scotland and Ireland don't beat ITaly by 4 points more.
In my opinion France have a big advantage as they are playing second meaning if Ireland beat Italy by ten points France know that have to win by exactly 6 points. Of course England are playing later again but I don't know how much of an advantage it is to knnow you have to win by 40 points.

England have far too great a points difference to overcome, so you have to favour France as they are at home to Scotland. Italy are on a high at the moment, so although they probably will not win against Ireland it could be a tight game!

France are the obvious favourites, Ireland a possible, England would have to beat Wales by a massive margin, and have the other results go right for them, so there isnt really any hope of that.

Either France or Ireland although England do have an outside chance. However Italy do have a mathmatical chance (although some very unusual results would have to happen)

France or Ireland. I always thought France but Ireland were the favourites until they lost to France at Croke Park then I thought that it's definately for France. Until yesterday when they lost to England and let it be possible now for both to win. They've only got themselves to blame. I've written a blog on my yahoo 360 dedicated to it, you can check it out if you want. I've got to talk about this weekends games, so it could be out of date depending to when you view it.

france will....
its between england ireland and france. points difference makes it highly unlikely that england will win it, ireland wont beat italy by more than what france will beat scotland by
all 3 are favourites to win their next games and france look likely to do it
