The 2019 Six Nations kicked off in dramatic fashion on Friday night as Wales came back to beat France 24-19 at the Stade de France in Paris.
The Welsh were 16-0 down at half-time before a stunning fightback in the second half helped them to victory.
This year’s competition takes on even more significance than usual, with the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan now just eight months away.
Ireland are the defending champions and are looking for back-to-back Grand Slams, while Eddie Jones’ England will be looking to win back the title they lost last year when finishing a miserable fifth.
Scotland are looking to build on a 2018 campaign in which they memorably hammered England.
Standard Sport provides you with everything you need to know ahead of the 2019 Six Nations...
