Rugby’s greatest championship.
The 2024 edition of the Guinness Six Nations gets underway next week as Ireland look to defend their Grand Slam crown against the other five nations.
Andy Farrell’s side will head into the championship without former captain Johnny Sexton who retired following the Rugby World Cup in France, with his former Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony named as his successor.
England are without their longstanding captain, Owen Farrell following his break from international rugby, as are France, with Antoine Dupont opting to take a sabbatical also to pursue his Olympic 7s team.
It all kicks off with an absolute belter between France and Ireland in Marseille with details of all the rounds below.
