The Six Nations is just eight days away, with Wales and Scotland set to kick things off on February 3 at 2.15pm. That is if Wales manage to put a team together given their current injury list.

Warren Gatland is set to be without a number of key players for at least the opening two rounds, with the likes of Sam Warburton, Toby Faletau, Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar all out injured.

Eddie Jones’ England are all without a number of key players, including the likes of Elliot Daly and Billy Vunipola. Ireland meanwhile will be without Garry Ringrose for the opening two rounds, with fears Sean O’Brien may miss the entire competition.

Scotland have been boosted by the returns of Stuart Hogg and Greig Laidlaw, but are facing a bit of a crisis in the front-row with Zander Ferguson, Ross Ford,, Fraser Brown and WP Nel all currently out injured.
