Event Preview
One of the biggest rugby events in 2024 gets underway at the start of February, as the Six Nations begins with a heavyweight showdown between Ireland and France in Marseille. It will be a meeting between the two most recent champions in the tournament, with the Irish dominating the tournament last year by winning the Grand Slam.
France will have pressure on their shoulders in the tournament this year, as they bid to get back on track after failing to make home advantage count in the World Cup last year. Their challenge could be made even more difficult this year, as they will play away from their natural home stadium throughout the tournament, and they will be without the influential Antoine Dupont.

Ireland would have also been slightly disappointed with the outcome at the World Cup, as they fell at the quarterfinal stage against New Zealand. A new era begins for the Irish in the Six Nations this year, as it will be their first major event without Johnny Sexton. But, the talent in their squad ensures that they remain a prominent contender.
England were the best finishers of the European nations at the World Cup, with Steve Borthwickโs side surpassing all expectations to finish the event in third. However, the Red Roses were extremely underwhelming in the Six Nations last year, and their challenge will be made even more demanding this year without Owen Farrell.
