IT’S Six Nations time once again and some of Europe’s top teams are battling to reach Rugby’s ultimate prize pot in 2024.
Six-time winners France are being second favourites to win the tournament behind current holders Ireland.

Ireland fittingly won the 2023 Grand Slam on St Patrick’s Day weekend with a 29-16 victory over Steve Borthwick’s England.
The Six Nations will be hosted in eight different cities around Europe.
England will host games at London’s Twickenham Stadium with Ireland hosting at the Aviva Stadium.
Gregor Townsend’s Scotland have their home games scheduled at Murrayfield Stadium, while Wales will be playing at the Millennium Stadium.
