The 2025 Guinness Six Nations isn’t over for Peato Mauvaka as the France hooker has been summoned to attend a disciplinary hearing this Thursday following his yellow-carded incident with Scotland’s Ben White. There were 20 minutes played at the Stade de France when the French front-rower was sin-binned for foul play against the Scottish scrum-half.

England finishing above Ireland in the Guinness Six Nations was an outcome few, if any, predicted after the Irish comfortably defeated Steve Borthwick’s side in round one on February 1. The back-to-back 2023 and 2024 champions impressively hit back from a 5-10 interval deficit to surge 27-10 ahead before a couple of late consolation tries from the visitors gave the 27-22 result a misleading complexion that it was a tight game. It certainly wasn’t in the second half.

England boss Steve Borthwick has given his verdict on Maro Itoje’s bid to captain the British and Irish Lions on their tour to Australia. Borthwick’s side rounded off their latest Guinness Six Nations campaign with a record away hammering of Wales, scoring 10 tries to win 68-14 in Cardiff. Victory left England finishing with a four-wins-from-five campaign for the first time since they last lifted the Six Nations title in 2020.

Terrible to hear what has happened to the Ireland men's 7 team. Their progress, as detailed here in this James Topping interview from 17 months ago, was immense. What a joy it was to see the outrageously talented Terry Kennedy in action over the years. #rugby #IrishRugby

Interesting that the British & Irish Lions 🦁 are in talks about playing France to open their 2029 tour. It’s a fixture that hasn’t happened since 1989, something Ireland’s Phillip Matthews reminisced about a while ago on RugbyPass. #Lions #rugby https://t.co/xZlNQpj68i
