The 2022 Six Nations kicks off with defending champions Wales travelling to Dublin to take on much-fancied Ireland on an opening weekend that could set the tone for the rest of the tournament.
The main question on everyone’s lips this year is, can anyone stop France? Les Bleus are a major force once more having upset the All Blacks 40-25 during the Autumn Nations Series.
The two teams best equipped to stop the French – Ireland and England – both have to make the daunting trip to Paris. With form on their side and home advantage against the biggest rivals, it’s no wonder France are being tipped to lift the trophy for the first time since 2010.
