LONDON (Reuters) - Ireland have the destiny of the 2020 Six Nations championship in their own hands as a bonus point win in Paris on Saturday will secure the title, but it is England, seeking another big win in Italy, who are the odds-on favourites to lift the trophy.
That is because history has shown that Ireland almost never score four tries away to France whereas England routinely pummel Italy by more than the 23 point margin they currently trail Ireland by and are unlikely to open the door to France either.
