So this it – Scotland are on the precipice of history after a scarcely believable dismantling of France in Edinburgh. Here are our Super Saturday predictions.

Les Bleus still have an advantage after rescuing a late bonus point last week but if Gregor Townsend’s men can beat Ireland in Dublin, it will really ramp up the pressure on Fabien Galthié’s defending champions when they take on England in the day’s final encounter.

Six Nations Super Saturday predictions

Josh Graham, Deputy Editor of Rugby World: Ireland 17-28 Scotland, Wales 21-30 Italy, France 21-7 England 

Forgive me, Irish fans, but for the good of the Six Nations finale a Scottish bonus-point win in Dublin is what the doctor has ordered. The Toonie Army are on cloud nine after the magic at Murrayfield in round four and the feel-good momentum should be enough to banish their poor record against the men in green.

Andy Farrell’s troops struggled to get past a battling Wales side and this might be one game too many for them in what’s been a very up-down campaign. Wales should give Italy a good game but Gonzalo Quesada’s Azzurri should have too much in the locker after finally completing the set of Six Nations wins by turning over England in Rome.

So it will all come down to what many previously predicted as a Grand Slam-decider at the Stade de France in Paris… I can see Steve Borthwick’s beleaguered England causing France problems but winning in the French capital feels like too big a mountain to climb in just a week. However, they could just keep them under four tries and hand a title to Scotland…
