Why is the Six Nations so popular?

The Six Nations’ popularity stems from its rich history of tradition, as well as the platform it provides for fierce international rivalries to be played out on a yearly basis.

Furthermore, the relatively short distance between nations is perfect for supporters, as it reduces travel times for those seeking to attend away matches.

Of course, there is also the regularity of heroic player performances, the prospect of an underdog story unfolding, and the passionate stadium atmospheres which seem to get better with each passing year.

Top Six Nations betting markets

Match Result: Predict which team will win the Six Nations match. The ‘Draw’ option is also available here with high odds, but draws are incredibly rare in Rugby Union due to the scoring system.

Points Handicap: This involves giving a team a points advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field, which can be handy if a team such as Ireland are taking on Italy, renowned for being one of the weaker sides. So if you bet on ‘Ireland -10.5’, the Irish have to win by at least 11 points, which means the odds on offer are better.

Half-Time/Full-Time: Predict the result at half-time and full-time. For example, ‘Ireland/Ireland’.

Winner: Select which team you think will win the Six Nations Championship.

Top Tryscoring Nation/Top Point Scoring Nation: Another outright market which asks you to predict which team will score either the most tries, or points, in the tournament. The odds between the three or four favourites are usually far closer in these markets, given the added variables and increased potential for change in the standings.
