An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman and an Italian walk into a bar.
It’s not the start of a cheesy joke – it’s the 2025 Rugby Six Nations, which kicks off with France v Wales at the Stade de France on Friday evening (31 January).
It’s one of two chances to see live rugby action in Paris during this year’s tournament. The other Stade de France match is the closing game, France v Scotland on 15 March.
While Ireland have dominated in recent years and are seeking to become the first men’s side to win three successive Six Nations titles, France are widely tipped as favourites with the return of Antoine Dupont as captain, after he missed last year’s championship to focus on winning Olympic sevens gold.
Last-minute tickets for the Stade de France fixtures are on sale on the official France Rugby Ticketing website.
Better still… for a great Six Nations experience, our friends at Frog Pubs will be screening every game, in each of their eight Paris pubs, live on big screens.
