Positive Signs for Italy in 2026
Italy are once again showing in the 2026 Six Nations that they are a threat to the bigger sides in the game. Their improvement has been superb over the last five years.
In the Six Nations, Italy are fifth with five points having won one of their three matches. However, that doesn’t tell the full tale.
In round one, on a very wet and windy afternoon, Italy scraped past Scotland 18-15 at home. Round two they performed superbly in Dublin, having a try chalked off that could have taken them level in a 20-13 loss.
A fortnight ago, Italy went down 33-8 against a very good French side away from home. For large parts of the game, Italy were in the fight but in the end, raw French power saw Italy fall short.
England Looking to Bounce back After Woeful Fortnight
England have been the biggest disappointment of the 2026 Six Nations to date and regardless of the last two rounds, it is likely to remain that way.
Currently, England hold fourth place with one win and two defeats, and they are six points off Scotland in third place. After a strong 48-7 home win over Wales in the first round, England were on a 12-match winning streak.
That came to a crushing end at Murrayfield in round two where Scotland produced a stunning display in the Calcutta Cup, winning 31-20. That was a setback, but what followed in round three is hard to explain. Ireland, who were struggling for form, went to Twickenham to win 42-21 and humiliate the hosts who were being talked about as 2027 World Cup contenders just two weeks prior.
