The 2023 Six Nations gets underway this weekend and will act as a more than adequate appetiser ahead of what is sure to be a blockbuster World Cup in France later this year.
Former captain Steve Borthwick leads a new look England following Eddie Jones’ dismissal in December while Warren Gatland returns for a second spell at Wales, having won four Six Nations titles with the Dragons between 2008 and 2019.
Reigning champions France and world number one Ireland are the early title favourites this year, but in a tournament as notoriously hard to predict as the Six Nations, don’t be surprised to see some upsets along the way; although, as usual, perennial strugglers Italy are unlikely to rock the apple cart.
Here’s everything you need to know about the fixtures and betting odds over the next month and a bit.
