The Six Nations 2022 has arrived with an uninterrupted tournament expected this year following two turbulent editions of the annual rugby showpiece event.
Wales were crowned champions with four wins, while the biggest shock of the tournament saw England finish fifth in the standings, only ahead of winless Italy.
No spectators were allowed to attend any of the matches, while France’s third match, against Scotland, was postponed and rescheduled due to a COVID outbreak in their camp.
Fans, players and coaches alike will be raring to go again in the most ‘normal’ edition of the tournament since pre-pandemic days, with full stadiums anticipated throughout the five weeks.
Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England, France and Italy will renew rivalries live on BBC and ITV platforms once again, meaning you can soak up every moment of the tournament without paying a penny.

Who won the Six Nations in 2021?
Wales are the reigning champions of the Six Nations following an excellent tournament in 2021.
They won four of their matches with their only defeat coming against France in a tight game in Paris.
The French came second, with an equal record to Ireland and Scotland in third and fourth respectively.
England finished fifth with their only victories coming against Italy and France, a result that may have denied Les Bleus the title.
