Jill Douglas and Mark Pougatch are our guides for the 2026 Six Nations

- 

Scrumthing good is coming up - the Men's Six Nations Championship!

ITV will be broadcasting all the England games with hosts Mark Pougatch and Jill Douglas providing in-depth analysis of every key clash.

They've got even more expert insight from former players including England hero Jonny Wilkinson on side, plus Irish icon Brian O'Driscoll, Welsh dragon Dan Biggar and Scottish international Greig Laidlaw.

Naturally 2003 World Cup winner Jonny is backing England to take the trophy. "I would go with England at this stage," says Jonny. "I think they might be building some serious momentum and they have players that are starting to operate with confidence in key positions. France, Ireland and Scotland will be huge contenders too - and with Italy showing form and Wales desperate to make a new statement, the tournament is going to provide some intense clashes to say the least."

However, the French squad is also playing well and Jonny fears that winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey is their secret weapon.
