It may be a rest week for the 2019 Guinness Six Nations but you can still get your Championship fix by reliving a stone-cold classic from Super Saturday 2015.

It was the greatest final day in Championship history as four teams were still in title contention at the start of proceedings before – after 221 points and 27 tries across three games – Ireland eventually lifted the trophy.

And if you head to the Guinness Six Nations Facebook page at 11.30am on Sunday, you can watch the thrilling denouement to Super Saturday – England’s 55-35 triumph over France at Twickenham in full.

Wales had already beaten 61-20 in Rome to lay down an early marker but Ireland responded with a 40-10 victory over Scotland to leap to the top of the table.

That meant England had to beat Les Bleus by 26 points of more to snatch the title away from Joe Schmidt’s men and what followed was 80 minutes of glorious, unadulterated rugby madness.

The teams traded tries like they were going out of fashion and it all came down to the final play, with the Red Rose needing one more converted score to break Irish hearts.

It was the culmination of an incredible day of rugby, so make sure you join us on the Guinness Six Nations Facebook page at 11.30am on Sunday to relive the final 80 minutes.
