Official Six Nations Thread 2026

Re: Official Six Nations Thread 2026

This is way more than a Wales issue, the 6 Nations has an existential problem. As The Bloop suggests the competition will determined for years to come by whether England can get a win over France. Ireland and Scotland’s role is now just to make up the numbers with Wales and Italy battling it out for the wooden spoon.

They will keep trying to market it as the classic competition of years ago but the reality is that in the professional era it’s a complete mismatch between the teams (just check the title odds). Its future is dwindling fan interest, falling TV figures and tons of unsold over-priced seats away from Paris and Twickers.

what's happened to Ireland then? star players retiring?

Ageing squad, injuries and I think the pipeline of fake Irishmen from New Zealand has now dried up.

I’d give a big shout out to all the Welsh fans that went to the game today. The writing was on the wall before kick off.

The WRU is a money-laundering operation and the Welsh Government should step in to prevent further damage at this point. Genuinely damaging to revenue and potentially tourism at this point.

I'm only half-joking.

France, if they're bothered, will double that score.

Re: Official Six Nations Thread 2026

They might aswell cancel the next 13 games and just play the France England game to decide the tournament. Can't see any other team getting close.

That’s almost as bad as my Luton prediction 😃
