Ireland vs. Wales: Winners and Losers from 2016 RBS 6 Nations Clash

The toughest game to call in the opening round ended up with nothing between the two sides after a bruising but entertaining 80 minutes in Dublin on Sunday.

France vs. Italy: 5 Key Battles That Will Shape 2016 RBS 6 Nations Clash

Why Eddie Jones Is Wrong to Stick Rather Than Twist with England Old Guard

The England rugby union team will open their latest new era on Saturday with a trip to Murrayfield, Scotland, where the result is perhaps more in the balance than it has been for a few years.

5 Bold Predictions for Week 1 of 2016 RBS 6 Nations

The grand old championship is upon us once more, with new faces in charge both on and off the field for England and France, while Ireland start a new era without one of their all-time greats.

5 Reasons Dylan Hartley Is a Risky Pick as England Captain

Dylan Hartley’s appointment as England captain has split fans over whether he has the credentials for the job ahead of the RBS Six Nations.

All of those attributes will be vital to restoring the Red Rose forward unit to its former,...

This week we saw a double helping of Owen Farrell, a classic case of prop vs. scrum-half and a shuddering tackle that Ulster’s veteran No. 10 Ian Humphreys will want to forget. The end of the Champions Cup pool stage was do or die for a number of teams, but this week’s compilation comes from games on which there was little resting. Just goes to show, there’s no such thing as a dead...
