Not long to go now.

The 2018 Six Nations begins this time next month with Wales and Scotland kicking things off with a huge clash at the Principality Stadium on February 3.

The 2018 competition is shaping up to be on of the best in recent memory, following on from a successful British & Lions tour and a hugely exciting Autumn International Series.

All games set to be shown live on either the BBC or ITV in Britain, while TV3 are set to take over from RTÉ in Ireland after securing the broadcast rights on a multi-year deal.

All matches will be played on either Saturday or Sunday, bar one. In Round Three, France host Italy in Marseille on Friday night.
