Six Nations Rugby: Latest News, Scores and Highlights

Welcome to your one‑stop spot for everything Six Nations. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just catching a game, you’ll find the scores, standings and hot stories right here.

Current standings and how the tournament works

The Six Nations features England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Each team plays five matches, earning four points for a win, two for a draw and bonus points for scoring four tries or losing by seven or fewer. After the last round the team with the most points lifts the championship. Right now the table is tight, with England leading by a point over Ireland, while France is chasing from third.

Where to watch and what to expect this weekend

All matches are broadcast live on major sports channels in the UK and can be streamed through official apps. If you’re on a budget, the BBC offers free coverage for most games, and you can catch highlights on YouTube after the final whistle. This weekend’s clash pits Wales against Scotland at the Principality Stadium – a game known for its fierce rivalry and big tries.

Key players to watch include England’s Owen Farrell, who’s steering the back line with pinpoint kicks, and Ireland’s James Ryan, the powerhouse lock who dominates the line‑out. France’s Antoine Dupont is still the play‑maker everyone talks about, while Italy’s Francesco Lamoni is trying to spark a surprise upset.

Fans love the post‑match analysis, and the official Six Nations website posts detailed stats within minutes. You’ll see player ratings, possession percentages and the number of scrums won. Those stats help you see why a team is winning or where they need to improve.

If you’re planning a trip to a live match, book tickets early – stadiums fill up fast, especially for the England‑France showdown. Travel by train is the easiest way to get to venues like Twickenham or the Stade de France. Arrive a couple of hours before kickoff to soak up the pre‑game atmosphere, grab a snack, and maybe join a fan chant.

For those who enjoy fantasy rugby, the Six Nations is a goldmine. Pick players who are likely to earn bonus points – typically the wingers who finish tries and the scrum‑half who keeps the ball moving fast. Keep an eye on injury reports; a last‑minute change can turn your fantasy lineup from loss to win.

Fans across the UK love wearing their national colours, and official Six Nations merchandise – scarves, hats and jerseys – are sold online and at stadiums. Wearing the right colour can make you feel part of the crowd, especially when the chants start.

So, whether you’re checking the live score on your phone, debating the best team on social media, or planning a trip to watch the games in person, this page gives you the basics you need. Keep coming back for the latest news, match recaps and insider tips as the tournament rolls on.
