This Saturday, the 2024 Rugby Six Nations tournament is back - following a thrilling weekend on 9 and 10 March - and we are here to help you find the perfect spot to catch the action.

The Guinness Six Nations Rugby Championships, featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales, was founded in 1882 and is is an annual international men's rugby union competition beloved by players, fans, and Guinness drinkers alike.

Much to the delight of many Rutland-based fans, the squad contains a number of Leicester Tigers players, including Ollie Chessum, Dan Cole, Joe Heyes, and Freddie Steward - many of who have performed well during the tournament so far.

The upcoming games, and final few of the tournament, will take place this weekend, on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March 2024:

First up, Wales will play Italy at 2:15pm on Saturday in a game that is expected to be a nail biter following Italy's hard-fought victory last weekend.

On the same day, Scotland will face Ireland at 4:45pm, leaving the final match of the weekend, when England will battle France, at 8pm - with no Sunday matches this weekend.

Ireland are still top of the tables to take the win, but England are currently in second spot, with Wales and Italy fighting to not come in last.
