British battle for 6 Nations title
09:00 Mon 13 Mar 2006
 

Scotland international Marcus Di Rollo insists that any talk of a possible first RBS 6 Nations Championship title is, at best, premature.

The Scots, who won the old Five Nations title in 1999, have already claimed the scalps of France and England at Murrayfield this year. And, despite their defeat in Wales last month, Frank Hadden’s team find themselves level on four points with three other countries. But a win in Dublin over fellow title-chasers Ireland on Saturday will leave Scotland with just a trip to Italy in their final game to handle.

Danny Grewcock is walking yet another disciplinary tightrope - just a week before England put their RBS 6 Nations Championship ambitions on the line against France in Paris. The England lock could be in hot water after television footage appeared to show him stamping on Llanelli Scarlets fly-half Mike Hercus during Bath’s Powergen Cup semi-final defeat at the Millennium Stadium.

6 Nations
RESULTS: Ireland - Italy 26-16, England - Wales 47-13, Scotland - France 20-16, Italy - England 16-31, France - Ireland 43-31, Wales - Scotland 28-18, Scotland - England 18-12, France - Italy 37-12, Ireland - Wales 31-5.
