Itโs now official! The World Rugby body has confirmed the fixtures for the 2024 Guiness Six Nations tournament taking place in France. With Ireland hoping to lift the trophy for the 16th time and second time on the bounce, other nations like France are expected to give them a run for their money.
The event will open on Friday 2nd February and features the regular suspects, including France, Italy, Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales. In what looks like a repeat of the 2023 edition, the clash of titans involving France vs. Ireland will open the event. While France hope for a revenge, rugby fans will expect Ireland to continue its fine run as the champions.
Italy vs. England is up next, and that match will take place at the popular Stadio Olympico in Rome before Scotland travel to Principality Stadium in Cardiff for an all-British affair against Wales to bring the first round (Round 1) of the championship to a close.
