Rugby Union The 6 Nations 2026

[deeahgwitch]

Just watching the Welsh team singing their national anthem with such passion.
If winning the 6 Nations was based on the singing of their national anthem, the Welsh would win hands down, with the Scottish team and the Italians in a tie for 2nd place imo.
And I’m Irish. 😀

I'm English, and I wish we had our own anthem, that we identified with for all the sports we play as individual home countries.

I love hearing both the Welsh and Scottish anthems, and indeed the French one is so much better than the fact England have to sing the UK one.

Anyone watching ?

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 were very poor today. Lengthy new team building required over the next few seasons.
Great to see Irelands new team building starting to come together.
Don’t see any one beating the French atm.
England need a strong rousing anthem.

A few of the home nations have gone through what England and Wales are going through now, hopefully we can build and regain our form of old eventually.

Jerusalem should be the England anthem for Rugby. I went to The Ashes and it was sung there and sounded fantastic.

Land of Hope and Glory should be the English anthem.

Well I’m not at all surprised that England is bottom of your list.

Thankfully we are much better at rugby than singing, and this is a rugby tournament

I would vote for Jerusalem!

Love hearing the Welsh singing and the Italian national anthem is quite upbeat compared to some of the other dreary anthems around(not just 6 nations).
The Scots belting out Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield is wonderful to hear.
Not sure what England should adopt as their anthem.

I didn’t say the English anthem was bottom of my list @Playingvideogames I only gave a 1st and a tie for Scotland And Italy.
But in fact for me it’s Wales first and Scotland second.

Hoping Ireland win today and looking forward to a rendition of Flower Of Scotland (on tv, sadly, not at the Aviva).

Good luck today everyone.
I’m 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 but rooting for Scotland today as we have No Hope and Scotland have waited a long time for a championship win.
I believe there’s some incredibly unlikely permutation that would put England below Wales in the table which would be so funny, but there’s a sense we’re on the up and our time will come soon.
It’s a lovely day for rugby - so different from the day Scotland played Italy - and we’re off to buy rugby snacks shortly before we settle in for a long afternoon/evening of rugby.
I bloody love the Six Nations.

Feeling very lucky to have been at the Principality Stadium today. What a day!! Well done to the Welsh boys, it’s been a long time coming but so deserved

Lucky you. I wish we’d bought tickets.

Last minute for us but so glad that we did. Atmosphere was great although I won’t have a voice in the morning it’s a small price to pay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

That was some match between England and France. 👏🏻

One of the finest.
I’m pleased France won though. Well done to Ramos on that final kick - nerves of steel!

I absolutely love the Italian anthem, it's like the singing version of the Haka!

That last push at the end is sung with such passion!

I hate our anthem, it's a dirge and inspires no one.

That last match, phew, I had to go for a lie down after!

Excellent championships , the France /England match last night was absolutely fantastic and it’s been lovely to see how Wales have improved .

Last nights match was brilliant-such a pity England didn’t win and then Ireland would have won the tournament. But, where has the determination England had last night been for the previous games ?
