Why Inconsistency Has Been Scotland’s Biggest Disappointment of RBS 6 Nations

Scotland’s 20-36 victory in Rome against Italy last Saturday was their first in the 2016 RBS Six Nations. But for a team with a world-class coach in Vern Cotter—and one that was moments and a controversial refereeing decision away from a Rugby World Cup semi-final in 2015—Scotland are not fulfilling their potential. The Scots’ problem so far this Six Nations is straightforward: inconsistency. Scotland lost their opening Six Nations fixture 9-15 against England, and the most disappointing part of the result for the Scotland fans was that they were no worse than England except... 

Why the Back Line Has Been Wales’ Biggest Disappointment of RBS 6 Nations

Wales are still in decent shape for the 2016 RBS Six Nations as they look ahead to their visit to Twickenham on March 12 to face England. The stadium where they blew England’s World Cup to smithereens will see them battle the only side with a 100 per cent winning record in this year’s championship. However, after a drab win over France, Wales and their supporters know they need to be better if they are to derail Eddie Jones’ side’s Grand Slam bid. The game against France did see captain Sam Warburton back to somewhere near his best on the openside flank, while scrum-half... 

6 Players with Most to Prove After 3 Games of RBS 6 Nations 2016

One of the perils in playing international-standard rugby is that your place may never truly be safe for long, and the 2016 RBS Six Nations has gone a long way to reinforcing that ever-changing landscape. Three matches into this year’s competition, both household names and new faces alike are making their impression in Europe’s premier Test tournament, while others have fallen flat thus far. Whether it be due to their inability to perform or simply down to the fact they haven’t been handed their opportunity, there are some stars in the competition who have a bigger point to make... 

Why Discipline Has Been England’s Biggest Disappointment of RBS 6 Nations

England’s biggest disappointment so far in the 2016 RBS Six Nations has been their discipline. Sound familiar? Eddie Jones’ team were much the better side against Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday, and it was only England’s indiscipline that brought the visitors back into the game. Speaking after the match, England captain Dylan Hartley told the BBC: “I’m sure there’s plenty to work on, discipline being top of the list.” He was right. England, who dominated throughout, had two men sent to the sin-bin, which begs the question how many they might lose to...

It’s already been confirmed that champions Ireland won’t be sealing a third Six Nations crown in succession, and Joe Schmidt’s men have underperformed...

Scotland also finally got their tournament up and running thanks to a 36-20 triumph over Italy in Rome last Saturday, a fixture that featured its fair share of highlights as Vern Cotter’s men got a head of steam. Controversies, class and...

Six Nations 2016: Table, TV Schedule and Live Stream Ahead of Round 4

England and Wales will duke it out at Twickenham in Round 4 of the 2016 RBS Six Nations as a rematch of last year’s World Cup collision promises to decide this year’s title-winner. Coach Warren Gatland leads an unbeaten Wales outfit to English headquarters, but Eddie Jones’ England side boast a one-point advantage coming into their duel after winning all three of their matches with him in charge. France are the only other nation in with a slim chance of winning the 2016 trophy, and they travel to Murrayfield for a meeting with Scotland, who are high on their first win of the tournament... 

Six Nations 2016: Updated Table, Results and Round 4 Fixtures

England moved back to the summit of the 2016 RBS Six Nations table on Saturday after Eddie Jones extended his winning run as head coach thanks to a 21-10 over reigning champions Ireland. Defeat at Twickenham means Ireland won’t seal a third successive Six Nations title, while England are the only team who can dream of a Grand Slam after winning their first three matches of the tournament. Scotland clinched their first victory of this year’s Six Nations earlier on Saturday after defeating Italy 36-20 at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, sealing their third successive win over the Azzurri... 

Italy vs. Scotland: Winners and Losers from 2016 RBS 6 Nations Clash

Scotland’s 2016 RBS Six Nations finally got off the mark on Saturday as they defeated Italy 36-20 to book their first win of the tournament following defeats to England and Wales. John Barclay, John Hardie and Tommy Seymour scored tries to give coach Vern Cotter’s men the push they needed in Rome, but it was the 21-point kicking haul of captain Greig Laidlaw that provided the foundation. Italy are the only team in this year’s competition yet to claim a point, and their chances of picking up another Wooden Spoon look only too likely after falling to a third consecutive defeat at...
