Six Nations 2023: Fixtures, results, how to watch and latest odds

Belfast Telegraph
 

England dismantled a disappointing Italy to give the Steve Borthwick era lift off with a 31-14 Six Nations victory at Twickenham.

The day before, Scotland fly-half Finn Russell was at his creative best in a crushing 35-7 bonus-point win over Wales at Murrayfield, a record victory in the contest. It was also the first time since 1996 that Scotland had won their opening two matches in the competition.

Ireland, meanwhile, struck a blow through French hearts ahead of the Rugby World Cup later this year with 32-19 victory at the Aviva Stadium. The Irish scored four tries to one in arguably their best home performance under coach Andy Farrell.

Every game in the championship will be aired live on either BBC or ITV. 

BBC lost the rights to broadcast France’s home matches in the men's Six Nations in 2022, which means that all matches in Paris will be shown on ITV. England matches are shared between the broadcasters, who began sharing rights across the competition in 2016. 

S4C will be showing all Wales matches live, and RTE will have live coverage of seven of the 15 matches, including all Irish fixtures. 

The Six Nations 2023 kicked off on Saturday, February 4, when Wales were comfortably beaten by Ireland in Cardiff. That was followed up by Scotland's brilliant win over England at Twickenham. The first weekend was rounded off by France, many people's favourite for the title, beating Italy 29-24 in a closely-fought affair in Rome. 

In round two, Ireland secured a statement win over France and Wales were handed a lesson by the Scots, before England outclassed Italy.

The tournament reaches its conclusion on March 18 – 'Super Saturday' – when all three fixtures kick off on the same day, one after another. 

  • Ireland: 4/7
  • Scotland: 7/1
  • England: 18/1
  • France: 25/1
  • Wales: 1000/1
  • Italy: 5000/1
