Rugby union fans, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. The 2025 edition of the Six Nations, one of the biggest and best tournaments in the rugby world, is officially underway. After taking a week off last weekend, the competition is back with some huge games.
After the first weekend this year’s Six Nations went pretty much as expected, the second threw up some upsets. England notably beat France at Twickenham, the Red Roses beating Les Bleus 26-25.
Nine adrenaline-pumped matches remain, and the next three take place this weekend. If you can’t get to the games in person, you can always soak up the atmosphere at your local pub – or, of course, there’s the option to watch the nail-biting contest from the comfort of your own home.
Here’s everything you need to know to make sure you keep up with all the Six Nations action on TV.
