Six Nations Review: Ireland 2nd, Wales Bounce Back, France Edge England & Why Rugby Must Market Itself Better

Rugby TTL review an exceptionally competitive, high-scoring Six Nations, praising the new format with only one mid-tournament break while debating the Thursday opener versus a preferred Friday night start. They recap Ireland’s win over Scotland, arguing the scoreline was flattering as Scotland started strongly but ran out of steam, and highlight Ireland’s improved cohesion, squad depth, and new faces such as Jamie Osborne, Tommy O’Brien, and Stuart McCloskey amid injuries and selection changes. Wales’ victory over Italy is discussed as a needed response after Italy’s prior week high, with praise for Wales’ young talent and work rate. The France–England finale is called a classic, with England improved but undone by missed kicks and a late Thomas Ramos winner, alongside strong criticism of the referee and discipline issues. They also cover their fantasy leagues, rule-breaking controversy, and pick standout players including Rhys Carre, Ferrari, and McCloskey, before closing with ideas to better commercialize and promote rugby through creators, access, and smarter advertising.
