How can Ireland win the Six Nations?
Ireland must beat Scotland and hope England do them a favour in Paris later in the evening.
Ireland are two points behind France but have a better points difference.
That means any win should be enough if the French fail to beat England.
The only exception to this would be if Ireland win without a bonus point and France draw to England but score four tries in the process.
