It is one of the oldest sporting competitions in the world and always a standout event on the international rugby union calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland are in search of a sensational three-peat after triumphing in 2023 and 2024, the former of those successes a Grand Slam victory – which is when a team wins all of their matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can anyone stop the Irish in 2025? Well, France and England each have the talent and depth to make a play for the prestigious trophy, while Scotland can never be ruled out of Six Nations contention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six Nations 2025 Preview<\/b><\/h2>\n

While England suffered losses to New Zealand, Australia and world champions South Africa in November\u2019s Autumn Nations Series, all those defeats to top-quality opposition were by a narrow margin.<\/span><\/p>\n

So confidence levels should be relatively high in Steve Borthwick\u2019s camp, even with the unenviable task of playing Ireland away from home in their opener.<\/span><\/p>\n

But while the Irish are to be feared, there is a degree of scepticism surrounding them ahead of the tournament, mainly due to the fact Simon Easterby will be in interim charge of the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Andy Farrell is preparing for his role as boss of the British and Irish Lions for the upcoming tour to Australia, so will miss the Six Nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is perhaps why Ireland are not as widely tipped to emerge victorious like in previous years, that and France\u2019s undeniable quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spearheaded by one of the world’s finest rugby players in scrum-half Antoine Dupont, the French possess all the necessary tools to claim a 19th outright Six Nations win and a first since 2022. In fact, they are the pre-tournament favourites.<\/span><\/p>\n

France also beat New Zealand 30-29 back in November, which is further evidence of their strength as a unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Scotland will be a tough opponent for anyone, although Wales and Italy are teams who will be of little concern to the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Welsh are on a record 12-game losing streak and it is hard to see how Warren Gatland\u2019s side can turn things around at the Six Nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stranger things have happened, though\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
