The finishing line is in sight, and three teams still have a chance of being crowned Six Nations champions for 2014.

England performed wonders to claim the Triple Crown as they defeated Wales 29-18 at Twickenham on Sunday. The young lions now travel to Italy knowing a huge performance and big score could take them to Six Nations glory.

Also on Sunday, Ireland defeated Italy 46-7 at home to put themselves in the driving seat, keeping them at the summit of the table.

They now face France in Paris knowing any kind of win should see them deservedly win this title.

However, the French know that if they can win, and if England inexplicably fall in Rome, they will steal the championship.

Here is the list of final fixtures and current standings going into the final match.



 

Italy v England



England know that a victory over Italy would likely see them crowned as champions, if Ireland are beaten by France. 

Stuart Lancaster's team are unlikely to eclipse Ireland's points differential if both sides win on the final weekend. Ireland boast an impressive +81 compared with England's tally of +32, meaning Lancaster's men would need to beat Italy by over 50 points if Ireland overcome the French.

Lancaster praised his young team after the victory against Wales, telling BBC Sport:

We've tried to remove the fear of playing, and when you've got the courage of your convictions it generally pays off. It's nice to get the win to put last year's result in Cardiff to bed. We lost fair and square on that day but this was our day and we deserved to win. I was really proud of the team. They are a great set of lads who always want to play hard for each other and the shirt.

The Daily Telegraph's chief sports writer Paul Hayward also tweeted his thoughts about England's win over Wales:
