Six Nations LIVE: Steve Borthwick under pressure as Ireland dealt England setback

We are now just one day away from the start of the most famous rugby tournament in the world. On Friday night, the 2025 Six Nations will kick-off in Paris, with France hosting Wales in what promises to be an acid test for Warren Gatland's men. But Gatland is far from the only coach under scrutiny heading into the tournament.

England boss Steve Borthwick and his squad were left reeling from their Autumn International games, which yielded three straight defeats before a solitary win against Japan. The Red Roses start their campaign with a massive clash at home in Ireland on Saturday. The Irish are aiming to become the first side to win the title three years in a row, but will have to make do without head coach Andy Farrell, who is now on a sabbatical ahead of taking charge of the Lions tour to Australia in the summer.



And will this finally be the year where Scotland turn promise and potential into results? If so, victory in Edinburgh against Italy this weekend is an absolute necessity, but Gregor Townsend's men have their injury problems going into their opener.
