Chief sports writer at Twickenham

"Confusion and boozy chaos at Twickenham - the instinct is entirely against England's supporters celebrating Scottish tries, the calculator is all for it. Would Twickenham Man prefer Wales or Ireland to be Six Nations champions if England can't be? Tweed-capped heads may explode."

"I'm scared. The England team is confident.

"When the opposition is confident, you are 'thinking what is going to happen?' That is a problem."

Try
England 34-22 France (Ford, con. Ford)

Youngs clean through the French defend, passes inside to Ford, who touches down under the posts... great vision from England's spring-heeled scrum-half Youngs, and it was finished well. Ford with the conversion, England lead by 12 and they need to win by 26...

Sam Wylie: Watching the Six Nations with one Irish fan, one Scots fan and six English fans. Only one thing is guaranteed: We won't all be happy by the end!

Former England hooker.

"That was tremendous work by Jack Nowell. He had a lot to do when the ball came to him.

"Whatever happens, wherever the title goes, the Six Nations shows that the margin between the teams behind the All Blacks and South Africa is wafer thin."

England 41-25 France (Haskell)

Brown kicks and Spedding lets it bounce and it rolls into touch in the French 22. Line-out goes loose, Plisson is unable to clear up and here goes Brown down the right wing. Scrum to France, accidental offside. Oh dear, Haskell is in trouble, he tripped Plisson with his leg, he'll be in the bin here... dopey, that could be the title lost for England...

French have lost yet another line-out and Ford kicks in behind. Robshaw has taken a knock, looks like his leg has buckled underneath him. The England skipper is OK.
