What to expect in this years Six Nations ..

Posted by

The 2025 Six Nations Championship is set to get underway this weekend and rugby fans can’t wait for the action to get going. It’s largely thought that this is the best rugby tournament on the planet. Will the hype and buzz live up to the expectations again this year?

There’s a Lions tour this summer and you’d expect a lot of the players to be putting in a good showing, in a hope to be selected to go Down Under in the summer with head coach Andy Farrell.

The former Wigan Rugby League player is on a sabbatical from Ireland at the moment to give the Irish coach every chance of picking the best squad to give him the every chance of winning the test series against the Wallabies.

Wales will travel to Paris on Friday night to take on the tournament favourites France, it’s a massive task, especially for a team that failed to win a signal game in 2024. Welsh rugby has never been in such a bad state, but can they cause and upset in this years tournament? I very much doubt it, text to ai voice is a much better option.

The game that everyone will be watching in the opening weekend is the old age rivalry of Ireland vs England. This match will take place on Irish soil and if Ireland want to go three Six Nations in a row, they will simply have to win their opening match on Saturday evening to give them the best chance of doing something that no team has done in the history of of the tournament.

England manger Steve Borthwick is a man under pressure and will be expected to deliver results in this year’s Championship. Ever since England got to the final of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan it’s been all downward.

The former Bath second row Steve Borthwick is the man trusted to get this England team back to the top of World Rugby. A win on Saturday evening against Ireland, would go a long way in terms of credit in the bank with the England fans and big wigs.

Predictions: It’s hard to look beyond Ireland and France being one of the teams that will lift the trophy come the 15 of March. Don’t rule out the Scots in a having a big say in the tournament and I would not be surprised if Italy pull off two wins in the tournament this year and show that they full belong in rugby greatest championship. France to be the winners in 2025 with no Grand Slam though.
