Six Nations fixtures revealed for 2018 and 2019

By Russell Greaves

16 May 2017

England celebrate 2017 Six Nations success

Reigning champions England will begin their next two Six Nations campaigns on the road and finish both on home soil.

The fixtures for the 2018 and 2019 tournaments were published on Tuesday, with Eddie Jones’ side pitted against Italy away in next year’s opening round, when France host Ireland and Scotland are the visitors to Wales.

That competition kicks off on February 3 and Ireland – who spoiled England’s hopes of back-to-back Grand Slams this time around – will travel to Twickenham on the final day.

In 2019 it will be England who head to Dublin for their tournament opener – finishing at home to Scotland – with the other first-round fixtures seeing France welcome Wales, while Italy face a trip Murrayfield.

The next edition of the annual event will see France take on Italy at home, but not in Paris. A venue for that fixture will be announced in the coming weeks.

The times are changing, and some Six Nations teams may be left behind

But isn’t having players who can play in multiple positions the essence of game time changes in tactics and the more versatile players the less predictable game outcomes?

Selection is key.

First selection issue, the WRU appointing Tandy then not allowing him to pick his coaches. He is supposed to be ‘head coach’ but he also runs the defence!

Yes quite unexpected, as those four guys wd hv scrummed each other for years - Schoeman, Fagerson, Fischetti and Ferrari - and hv known each other inside out.

The depth of Sarries front row stocks has prob been the single biggest change since they copped the fine. I can still recall how they once had Koch, Figallo, Petrus d P and James Johnston all on the same roster. Then stuck Skelton behind them. Unreal.

Litmus test is often whether coaches are willing to make changes before half time! Eddie used to do it with Eng at his peak!

If you are building the same amount of rucks but kicking more is that a bad thing? Kicks are more constestable than ever, fans want to see a contest, is that a bad thing?

It’s good question. The ball-in-play time in both 6N was roughly the same - around 38’ - so those stats may be suggesting that more of the ruck are being set inside the opposing 22 now than they were then?

Huw Jones responds to concerns surrounding Scotland camp

Scotland can surely win but it will be extremely difficult. England are planning to strangle Scotland and not allow them to play. Like the SA-Scotland match in RWC 2023.

So even in good conditions the match might feel a lot like they will need to kick a lot.

Opening salvos will dictate Australian Super Rugby Pacific fortunes

Had been getting a similar vibe everywhere to the comments in this article, bit of a low ebb after last years high (and a deflating end), what’s the goal for players this year Brett? Nations Champ is a pretty exciting thing, but maybe more so just for the nations who would like to win it? Whats the Wallabies season like, unsure if theres a hype possibility with TRCs replacement.

I was wondering about opinion then on preference for fairer round robin or local derbies. Do you also like that Aussie sides don’t play the kiwis often, having either/both local, easier, games? Or is it just that you want your teams to be able to compete on even footing, with a level playing field, and do well?

Yeah so strange that while popularity numbers appear to continue going up everywhere that rugby tournaments aren’t popular internationally (with no NH comps shown in SH and vice versa you say). Actually, I think PREM might be on here at least.

I assume though that is the broadcasters over value themselves/demand? Wanting too much money for their comp.

If you are building the same amount of rucks but kicking more is that a bad thing? Kicks are more constestable than ever, fans want to see a contest, is that a bad thing? kicks create broken field situations where counter attacks from be launched from or from which turnover ball can be exploited, attacks are more direct and swift rather than multiphase in nature, is that a bad thing? What is clear now is that a hybrid approach is needed to win matches. You can still build phases but you need to play in the right areas so you have to kick well. You also have to be prepared to play from turnover ball and transition quickly from the kick contest to attack or set your defence quickly if the aerial contest is lost. Rugby seems healthy to me. The rules at ruck time means the team in possession is favoured and its more possible than ever to play a multiphase game. At the same time kicking, set piece, kick chase and receipt seems to be more important than ever. Teams can win in so many ways with so many strategies. If anything rugby resembles footballs 4-4-2 era. Now football is all about 1 striker formations with gegenpress and transition play vs possession heavy teams, fewer shots, less direct play and crossing. Its boring and it plods along with moves starting from deep, passing goalkeepers and centre backs and less wing play. If we keep tinkering with the laws rugby will become a game with more defined styles and less variety, less ways to win effectively and less varied body types and skill sets.

I think that would be OK but hopefully we would see more ball in hand. I am not even sure of the idea myself but the current situation is a bit off. To be honest, I used to hate the blatant blocking so its no easy issue to solve.

World Rankings record on the line in round two of the Six Nations

This has to be the most meaningless comparison around, but I suppose it gives the opportunity for some meaningless articles.

[Please note, I only read it so I could give a meaningless comment. ]

Definitely HH. While we're obviously keen to support Jacques anyway, the proof of the pudding IMHO is the Boks’ tackling which - apart from poor old Lood's unfortunate red card - is out of this world and the cream on the top of their defensive superiority. It's a joy to watch and goes back to my playing days when this standing-up concussion-causing nonsense was just a blip on the horizon. Jacques obviously did his bit towards that, and Jerry Flannery has finished it off. The Irish - and other countries’ - teams still need to get their heads around how important it is and their commentators too. Oh, and the Blitzbokke ook.

Uh oh. It’s gone quiet around here…

Ireland may have performed better at the Stade de France had they adopted Nienaber’s aggressive defensive set-up rather than the system Andy Farrell deployed, which shipped a concerning 35 missed tackles.

I will be rooting for Scotland - but they really have to pull finger.

They’ve had an exciting group of players. But not the consistent results.
