6 nations - options for winner

So, if Wales beats Ireland, Wales wins (regardless of what England does)
If Ireland wins and England wins, Ireland wins
If Ireland wins and England loses (unlikely) - who wins?

Have I got that half right?

Although commentator did say 3 teams can win. So there must be a permutation that would mean England wins?

If Wales win, they win the tournament. They'd get three points extra for the grand slam which England couldn't match.

If Wales draw and England lose, Wales win. If Wales and England draw, England will win if we get a bonus point and Wales don't.

If Wales and Ireland both draw, England win.

If Ireland win and England don't, Ireland win.

If Ireland get a bonus point against Wales and England don't score more than four tries, we'd be drawn on points, which would put it to points difference and England would win.

Does that help? Smile

Considering draws are pretty rare in rugby, I think it will come down to bonus points and a lot of it is dependent on the Wales/Ireland game.

Ok, so since I want Ireland to win, I obviously need Ireland to beat Wales, preferably with bonus points and England not to get bonus points (given I think it's highly likely they'll win). Is that right?

Ireland can only win if Enland lose.
