Ireland Leads Six Nations After Second Round as France Faces Tough Path to Victory

Ireland remains unbeaten with two bonus-point wins, while France's loss to England complicates their chances of securing the championship.

Ireland tops the Six Nations standings with 10 points after securing bonus-point victories against England and Scotland.
France, now second with 6 points, must achieve three bonus-point wins, including a decisive victory over Ireland, to stay in contention for the title.
Key tiebreakers, such as point differential and tries scored, could play a significant role if teams finish with equal points.
Scotland's defeat to Ireland was marred by injuries to key players Darcy Graham and Finn Russell, weakening their performance.
Wales remains at the bottom of the standings after a loss to Italy, extending their winless streak in the tournament.
