Six Nations Tournament: Grand Slam, wooden spoon, crunch... What do these terms mean?
Rugby is a fascinating sport... But for the uninitiated, it can be quite opaque. To make it easy to follow the Six Nations tournament, here are the terms you need to know. [Read more]
Ranked third, just behind us, in last year's Six Nations, England are a tougher opponent than their predecessor, even if France have been better in recent encounters. Despite their 39 victories in the tournament, the XV de la Rose hasn't won since 2020, and won only against the Japanese in their last matches in 2024, unlike Les Bleus, who have won almost everything, notably against the All Blacks.
This time, no point should escape Les Bleus, still under the guidance of Fabien Galthié, with the return ofAntoine Dupont, freshly crowned Olympic medallist, to avoid finishing second for lack of points. A maximum of tries is therefore expected to score the bonus point and keep the lead until the end of the competition, in the hope of winning the tournament!
From February 5 to March 14, 2026, the cream of European rugby will battle it out in the Six Nations Championship! Don't miss a moment of this sporting event—check out the schedule and find out where to watch the matches! [Read more]
