IRELAND HAVE ALREADY WON THE SIX NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP 2018!
They can now not be beaten, as no other team can accumulate enough match points to overtake them.

But - CAN THEY WIN THE TRIPLE CROWN & THE GRAND SLAM?
*To win the "Triple Crown" a nation must beat the other 3 nations from the home countries
Ireland have already beaten Scotland and Wales. They need to beat England this weekend for that achievement.

And also, if they do beat England, then they also win "The Grand Slam* (beating all other nations in this competition)


AND CAN WALES HOLD ON TO SECOND PLACE?
