There's a lot of rugby to absorb, and not enough time to take it all in. Thankfully, viewers are covered with highlights from every angle after each round of matches.

Reigning champions France enter the competition as favourites alongside in-form England.

Ireland are not fancied for the title and could find themselves in a duel with an inconsistent Scotland in the middle of the pack.

Italy are set to be chief disruptors in the weeks to come, while Wales already appear on course for the wooden spoon.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about Six Nations 2026 highlights.
