Before the Six Nations Rugby 2017 you have to know live stream, tv coverage, preview and more information — you need to know.
It’s here once again; six of Europe’s top national rugby teams are set to fight it out for the revered Six Nations title.
Here the Rugby Six Nations Game Preview
With the excitement building for this tournament, one can only imagine what might happen. Can France build on a strong fall showing with tight encounters with the visiting All Blacks and Wallabies? Can England continue their impressive winning streak and be the side that ends New Zealand’s reign at the top of the world table? Will Ireland have a bounce-back Six Nations after a lacklustre performance last year? Will Wales recover from a demolition on their home pitch provided by the Wallabies, and a closer than expected encounter with Japan? Will Scotland continue paving the road back to the top? And will Italy finally show they belong?
France is the dark horse of this year’s 6 nations rugby. They, much like Scotland, have much to prove. It has seemed since their appearance in the 2011 World Cup final they have been on a steady decline. One could only wonder why. France had always seen as a top team until then.
Of course, the climax of this decline showed in the 2015 World Cup. France lost their last match of the pool stage at the hands of Ireland, pitting themselves against New Zealand. That match may well have never happened. France were embarrassed, and just four years from losing the final of the World Cup 8–7 to New Zealand, they lose a quarter-final 62–13, a true showing of how far they had fallen.
However, thankfully for the French, it seems they have begun their emergence from this dark age. They took their revenge on Ireland in last year’s tournament and nearly defeated the world champion All Blacks just one year after that embarrassing defeat.
BBC Sport has extensive coverage of the 2017 Six Nations Championship across TV, radio and digital platforms.
Live coverage of seven matches will be on TV, including the tournament’s opening game between Scotland and Ireland on 4 February.
There will be minute-by-minute coverage of all the home nations’ games on BBC Radio 5 live and 5 live sports extra, and across the BBC’s digital platforms.
Eight of the matches from the tournament will be shown on ITV.
This is the second year of a six-year deal between the BBC and ITV to share the broadcast rights to the RBS 6 Nations.
The BBC’s broadcasting team will include expert analysis from some of the biggest names in the sport, including Jeremy Guscott, Jonathan Davies, Martyn Williams, Keith Wood, Brian Moore and new for 2017, Ireland legend Paul O’Connell.
A comprehensive digital service will enable fans to share in all the excitement through the BBC Sport website and via the BBC Sport app on mobiles, tablets and connected TVs.
Fans will also be able to sign up for push alerts and use the My Sport service, which provides a more personalised offer.
All Ireland games will be live on BBC Radio Ulster, all Scotland games will be live on BBC Radio Scotland, and all Wales games are live on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru.
Finally, you have the Italians. This is a team that is hard to get excited about because they can’t gain any traction. In 2015, they finally won a Six Nations game against Scotland. A year later, they finished with an all too familiar winless Six Nations campaign.
In this past fall, they scored a historic victory against South Africa, only to lose to Tonga a week later. This year, Italy’s goal should be to just prove they deserve to be there.
There has been much talk, especially after last year, about a new relegation system involving the second-tier European championship to give sides like Georgia a shot at top-tier competition.
Of course, another option that is a distinct possibility if Italy can’t prove themselves is bringing back the Five Nations. Can Sergio Parisse lead an Italian side lacking confidence on a successful campaign by their standards, and silence their doubters?
So there you have it, Roarers. Which of these six sides will lift the Six Nations trophy in two months? And will there be a Grand Slam? This year’s tournament will have those answers and many more as this is shaping up to be the most competitive and exciting Six Nations tournaments in years.
