The Six Nations is back, the battle lines are drawn, and every year we’re told who the favourites are, but how often do they actually deliver? In this video, I go back through every 6 Nations championship from 2000 to 2025 to track how the pre-tournament favourites really performed, from dominant Grand Slams to near misses and complete collapses. Using betting odds, media expectations, and a bit of rugby knowledge, we break down each season to see who lived up to the hype and who fell short, before crunching the numbers to reveal how successful favourites truly are across the modern Six Nations era. If you love rugby history this one’s for you.
