There has been big news in the different team camps.
England’s new Head Coach, Steve Borthwick will be under pressure for them to do well.
Warren Gaitland is back with Wales and again, the fans will be wanting results.
France are the current champions and will be keen to follow up last year’s success with another powerful performance. However, they have to face Ireland and England away, which will be big matches at intimidating stadiums.
Italy are playing the best rugby we have seen from them at the moment and so we are looking forward to them scoring some big tries and perhaps unsettling the normal results we expect to see from them in the Six Nations. They beat Samoa and Australia in the Autumn Nations Cup in 2022 so it will be exciting rugby to watch.
Ireland are currently the top ranked team in the World and so they will be full of confidence heading into the Six Nations.
Scotland have some exciting players and an extremely strong attack but they are lacking in discipline which can see them unstuck. Hopefully, under the continued guidance of ex Scotland International Gregor Townsend (82 Caps), they will come together as a side and create some surprises.
Thank you to Six Nations rugby and the RFU
