France host England in a crucial Super Saturday final that will decide the Six Nations in 2026. A bonus-point win would guarantee Fabien Galthie’s men a record eighth title regardless of what happens in Dublin. However, if Les Bleus fail to secure a point, they will not be able to top the standings.
Scotland will leapfrog France if they beat Ireland and Les Bleus lose, or if Scotland secure a bonus point win and France don’t, or if Scotland draw and France lose without getting any bonus points. Ireland will top the standings if they win and France lose, or win without getting any bonus points. In all other scenarios, the title will be France’s.
Despite the two teams’ vastly different efforts, they can be hard to tell apart at the Stade de France. Antoine Dupont will lead his men out in a special edition light blue strip, but England are still expected to play in white. Then again, their respective playstyles should quickly negate the kit clash.
Despite the extraordinary collapse against Scotland that destroyed their Grand Slam hopes, France have been electric and inventive throughout, a symphony conducted by Dupont and Matthieu Jalibert.
England, on the other hand, just don’t seem to have a plan beyond kicking high for territory. Even when they win the ball back, no one apart from Ben Earl and Jamie George is prepared to run with it and make things happen. Will it be more of the same, or will England throw caution to the wind and produce the kind of gutsy performance that gave France the scare of their lives in the Six Nations final two years ago?
