Before the previews, the boys get stuck into World Rugby’s new Nations Championship, why it adds real jeopardy to north v south match-ups, and why a global season still feels stuck in the mud. Then it’s into the match-ups: Ireland v Scotland in Dublin and how Ireland’s control, phase pressure and aerial contest can squeeze Finn Russell, even with Scotland’s confidence soaring. Wales v Italy gets billed as a surprise blockbuster, with Italy handling rare favouritism and Wales chasing a long-awaited win. And at the Stade de France, France v England brings heat, selection calls, emotional control, and the media pressure that comes with it. ● World Rugby Nations Championship format and fixture excitement ● Why a global season change looks unlikely pre-2028 ● Ireland v Scotland: contrasting styles and Finn Russell pressure ● Wales v Italy: Italy favourites, Wales building belief ● France v England: title stakes and emotional control ● Eddie Jones on England’s kicking debate and media noise PLUS: A wider look at World Rugby governance, transparency, and faster decision-making.
