Six Nations 2023: Fixtures, results, how to watch and latest odds
France head into the 2023 Six Nations heavily favoured and eager to repeat their dazzling performance in 2022, which saw them win the Championship and Grand Slam for the first time since 2010.
Meanwhile, both England and Wales are set to compete in their first major tournament since the sacking of their respective head coaches, Eddie Jones and Wayne Pivac, following dismal autumn campaigns.
Scott Borthwick's first match in charge of England is the Calcutta Cup, while Warren Gatland starts his second tenure with Wales in a tough match against Ireland.
When does the Six Nations 2023 start?
The Six Nations 2023 kicks off on Saturday February 14, when Wales face Ireland in Cardiff, and England play Scotland at Twickenham. The tournament reaches its conclusion on 'Super Saturday', March 18, when all three fixtures kick-off on the same day, one after another.

How to watch the Six Nations live
Every game in the championship will be aired live on either BBC or ITV.
BBC lost the rights to broadcast France's home matches in the men's Six Nations in 2022, which means that all matches in Paris will be shown on ITV. England matches are shared between the broadcasters, who began sharing rights across the competition in 2016.
S4C will be showing all Wales matches live, and RTE will have live coverage of seven of the 15 matches, including all Irish fixtures.
