The 2026 Six Nations has seen France, England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales fighting for the title of the best rugby-playing nation in the northern hemisphere.

France secured the Championship in 2025 as they won four of their five matches, but they were denied a Grand Slam as they slipped to a stunning loss to England at Twickenham. This year, the French are the favourites, but can they clinch the title on the final weekend?

France are the side to beat at the 2026 Six Nations, with the nation winning the title in 2025 following four wins from a possible five, but they still have work to do if they are to secure the trophy.

So far, France top the ladder, winning three of their four matches and securing four try-scoring bonus points. This has seen the French move onto 16 points. However, last time out they were stunned in one of the great Six Nations games as they were beaten 50-40 by an inspired Scotland.

This win means Scotland are next in line on the ladder, denied top spot by their inferior points difference. Interestingly, Scotland began the tournament with a loss to Italy before roaring to a 31-20 win over England with a battling 26-23 win over Wales in Cardiff following. Their win over France has shown the world that on their day, they are a match for any side.

Despite losing their opener to France in game one, Ireland are still in with a chance of securing the trophy. Three wins in four and two bonus points means they sit in third with 14 points. To win the title they need to beat Scotland and hope that England can beat France and deny the reigning champions a try scoring bonus point and a losing bonus point.

However, after England were humiliated by Italy as they were consigned to their third successive loss, victory for England in their final game is fanciful. Instead, they will have one eye on Wales vs Italy. A big defeat for England against France coupled with a bonus point win for Wales could see England slide to the bottom of the ladder. While it is unlikely, it is not impossible.

Super Saturday will see Ireland take on Scotland in the opener before Wales host Italy. England then have the unenviable job of facing a French side looking for a big reaction after their humiliating loss to Scotland last week.

The trophy is still up for grabs for France, Ireland and Scotland, while either of Ireland or Scotland can also win the Triple Crown (awarded when one of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales beat each of the other three).

France are the side to back heading into the final weekend, but can they secure the crown for a second consecutive year?
