Six Nations

The Six Nations is an annual international rugby union competition involving six European teams: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. It is one of the sport’s most prestigious tournaments, taking place over several weeks each spring. The competition features each team playing every other team once, with points awarded for wins, draws, and bonus points for scoring tries. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament is crowned the champion. The Six Nations has a rich history, evolving from the Home Nations Championship and has been known as the Six Nations since Italy joined in 2000. It is celebrated for its intense rivalry and the passion of its participating nations.
