World News – GB – Six Nations LIVE: Italy v England, France v Ireland on Super Saturday

It’s Super Saturday that this year’s tournament finally comes to a close after a long break, with three big ties to sort things out once and for all

Ireland are in pole position, although they know they have to beat France to win the title

Oddly enough, England may have the best chance of winning even though their fate is not in their hands They have to earn a bonus points victory over Italy and hope France will beat Ireland while the Blues must win at the Stade de France and better win England against Italy

It’s a complicated end to the most unique tournaments, ending almost exactly nine months after they started due to the coronavirus pandemic putting the sport on hiatus around the world

We have George Flood leading you through the action, with expert analysis from rugby correspondent Will Macpherson

50 minutes: England use Italy now with double-digit stages at the 22-limit, breaking lines and tiring defenders

It’s only a matter of time before their third try right now as England’s rolling maul quickly rumbles after a lineout

48 mins: Garbisi does well to slide through and rally inside the 22 Italians after Farrell’s probe grubber in search of the May race, which doesn’t need a second invite to get started in these kinds of opportunities

47 mins: The TMO wants to verify a collision between Minozzi and May which leaves the former with blood dripping from his nose

However, reruns show it was an accidental clash after Minozzi was inadvertently pushed in May by Furbank

45 minutes: things are starting to go decidedly pear-shaped for Italy after a valiant effort in the first half

Scrum half Marcello Violi knocks the ball over after a lineout and England will once again have a chance to use their advantage in the scrum

43 min: Padovani is punched quite dangerously in the air by Curry after giving a clearance kick and the latter may be a little lucky to avoid a yellow

After a charge up the hill, England carry attackers heavily and Youngs sell a cheeky supermodel in support of Danilo Fischetti before rushing to land for the second time at his 100th cap

If that result stays the same, Ireland would just need to register a victory over France – by any margin – to clinch the Six Nations title in Paris tonight
