The Six Nations immediately after a World Cup tends to defy most predictions, so while France and reigning champions Ireland who get the tournament underway on Friday are the front-runners for the Championship Trophy, try not to be too surprised if neither of them ends up taking the spoils.

For every single team is at the start of a new cycle, and the reboot has been exacerbated by retirements and withdrawals. Italy are the only team to have retained their captain from 12 months ago, though they're also the only team with a new head coach.

Antoine Dupont and Owen Farrell have switched their focus to other competitions, Louis Rees-Zammit has stepped away from the sport entirely, while Six Nations stalwarts Johnny Sexton, Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Biggar have all hung up their boots.

This is very much the dawn of a new era, meaning that every coach has a clean slate to work with. That should be liberating for Wales and England, who have fallen well below the required standard in recent years, though the draw has been kind to France and Scotland, who get to play the majority of their most daunting fixtures on home turf.

Here's where to watch Six Nations 2024 live streams wherever you are starting with how to watch the Six Nations for FREE in the UK/Ireland.
