From England’s Maro Itoje-led pack to France’s flair with Dupont and Ntamack, and Ireland’s ever-consistent machine, the tournament promises intrigue at every turn. With Italy punching above their weight and Scotland and Wales poised to play spoilers, this Six Nations will undoubtedly deliver all the moments rugby fans crave.
