The Six Nations 2025 is off to a fast start with two of the pre-tournament favourites firing signals of intent to the rest of the pack.

France kicked off the tournament with a 43-0 demolition of Wales, while Ireland overwhelmed England in the second half of their contest to record a 27-22 victory.

Round Two will see England host France at Twickenham in another tough test for Steve Borthwick's men. Scotland welcome Ireland to Murrayfield as they seek to end their barren streak against the visitors.

However, the most intriguing match-up could be Italy versus Wales, which could be a de facto wooden spoon decider in Rome. Italy have shown great signs of progress in recent years and will be determined to land a decisive blow against the beleaguered Welsh squad.

Fans across the globe will be excited to see how the tournament develops, with round 1 set to offer plenty of clues as to where the competition could be headed.
