The France v Scotland result and scoreline Wales need to win the Six Nations tonight

And so the 2021 Six Nations all comes down to France v Scotland tonight.

Wales rugby fans will be tuning in and cheering on the Scots, with Wayne Pivac's men remaining favourites for the title despite seeing their Grand Slam hopes implode last Saturday.

All the details for the match can be found here.

A Scotland win or a draw gives Wales the title.

If France win but don't get a bonus point, Wales are champions.

The French need to beat Scotland, score four tries or more and win by at least 21 clear points to draw level in the Championship table and overturn Wales' points difference advantage

If they are tied on points difference (if France get a bonus point win and the margin of victory is 20), then the title will be decided by number of tries scored. Currently, Wales have scored 20 tries and France have scored 15 tries.

So, if France secure a bonus-point win over Scotland by exactly 20 points and score exactly five tries, then both Les Bleus and Wales will be level on points, points difference and tries scored.

In the event of such a scenario unfolding, the rules state the two teams involved will be placed equally as joint winners.

Scotland cannot win the title but could still finish second if they can pick up their third win of the campaign depending on the margin and bonus points, with France and Ireland four points ahead of them going into the game.
