How Ireland can win the Six Nations this weekend

Ireland enter Round 4 of the 2018 Six Nations with a healthy five point advantage at the top of the table following three successive victories over France, Italy (BP) and Wales (BP).

Gregor Townsend takes his Scotland squad to Dublin this weekend fresh off a momentous Calcutta Cup victory over England in Round 3, securing their first triumph over their neighbours in a decade.

Joe Schmidt's men are current 10-point favourites for Saturday's clash at the Aviva Stadium, if Ireland can better England's result this weekend then the championship winner will be decided before the St. Patrick's day showdown.

To put it simply, Ireland will claim a first Six Nations title since 2015 if they achieve a bonus-point victory over Scotland and England fail to do so in Paris.
