    Is this correct?

    In order for us to win the 6 Nations, for example if we win by 13 points and France fail to beat Italy by more than 41 points we win the trophy? i.e we have to win by 29 point less, at the most, than France do?

    Exactly, but don't concentrate so much on France, try to think of it this way...If we beat wales by 13 points or more we win the triple crown + six nations. However, if France beat Italy by MORE than 40 points, for every extra point on their winning margin is added to the required winning margin of what Ireland need to win the 6N. So if France beat Italy by 45 points, then we need the 13 point winning margin over Wales + the additional 5 points France got over that winning margin of 40...5 points. 13 + 5, we would then need a 18 point winning margin over Wales. I doubt it'll come down to us all getting out our calculators...that entire sequence of events is unlikely...i think it will be clear one way or another. France play before Ireland today also, so we will know the required winning margin going into the game and im sure reference will be made to it in the build up, so George Hook no doubt will tell you exactly what's required, wheter it be 13 points winning margin or more.:)
