Six Nations

The Six Nations is an annual rugby union tournament involving six European national teams: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious international rugby competitions, originating from the Home Nations Championship in 1883. The tournament typically takes place over several weeks in the early part of the year. Each team plays the other five teams once, with points awarded for wins, draws, and bonus points for scoring tries, leading to a final championship winner. The Six Nations also includes a women’s tournament, known as the Women’s Six Nations. The competition is known for its rich history, intense rivalries, and passionate support from fans.
