[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 843384, member: 13739"] I'm not sure of the actual permutations, but are you sure it would require Scotland losing? We're currently 6th, one behind Scotland, but only by 0.02 points. Even if Scotland thrash Italy, they'll gain very few tanking points because of how low Italy currently stand. We'll almost certainly gain more by beating France, even if by less than 15. That brings us to Ireland. They would need to lose. With England being almost 8 points clear of Ireland though, Ireland are unlikely to lose too many even with a loss. Franc are less than a point behind us, which plays into out favour, as we'd gain more if we win, especially with it being away. We need ~ 1 point to overtake Ireland (depending on how much Ireland would actually lose if they lost), which mist be doable, just depends if that also required more than a 15 point win v France for the extra ranking points. On the bus home from work ATM, but I'll work it out when I get home. Edit. Another interesting permutation would be whether Scotland could overtake Ireland if Ireland & Wales lose. I'm going to do some maths now.... [/QUOTE]
