Ireland beat Scotland 26-5, this Saturday in Dublin, and maintained the suspense on the fifth and final day of the Six Nations rugby tournament, pushing their chances to win the title.
Everything is now in the hands of France, which is obliged to beat England in the last match on Saturday and this year. If the French don't win, the title will go to the Irish.
An Irish defeat to the Scots could have given the title to the 'Bleus' before their match against XV de la Rosa.
Ireland is now the provisional leader of the standings, with their fourth victory in five matches. He only missed the 30-24 setback in France, on the second day.
The Irish also won the 'Triple Crown', the honorary title awarded to the British Isles team that wins the other three teams (England, Wales and Scotland, as well as Ireland).
“The Triple Crown is something huge, especially for the Irish people. It's something we haven't achieved in a long time and it's great to do it again,” Irishman Dan Sheehan celebrated.
