Wales are at an all-time low but everyone else has high hopes.
IF YOU HAVEN’T yet felt the flutters of Six Nations excitement, the opening 40 seconds of the classic RTÉ montage from over a decade ago usually does the trick.
The Six Nations remains the big annual barometer for Ireland and their five traditional rivals. Drama, jeopardy, familiar stars stamping their dominance all over it once again, new prodigies marking their rise, and all the magic in between. Advertisement The timing of this competition means it can throw up brutal battles in teeming rain and howling wind, but also gleeful shootouts in beaming sunshine. The tactical challenges are wonderfully varied – France’s flair, Ireland’s intelligence, England’s explosiveness, Scotland’s skills, Wales’ warriors, and Italy’s imagination.
Ireland also only have two home games but they’re against England and the French, which has always been seen as a big advantage. It helped in the 2023 Grand Slam run.
