The Six Nations Championship is an annual international rugby union competition between six European nations: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. The championship typically takes place in February and March, with each team playing the others once.
Here are some key points about the Six Nations:
* **France's 7th title**: France won their seventh Six Nations title in 2025, drawing them level with England for the most titles won since Italy joined the tournament in 2000.
* **England's combined start XV**: In a special feature, fans are invited to choose their own starting XV for a hypothetical England team that combines players from the 2016 and 2025 championships. The winner will receive a signed jersey and have their name displayed on the BBC Sport website.
* **Dylan Hartley and Maro Itoje**: Two of the most iconic English players, Dylan Hartley (captain in 2016) and Maro Itoje, feature in the combined start XV, which also includes players from the 2025 team.

I'm not buying into all this hype around the Six Nations Championship 
. Seven titles for France, huh? What's next? They're gonna put up a 'World's Best Rugby Team' sign outside their stadium too? 
And what's with the England vs France rivalry now? It's just a bunch of guys running around and hitting each other 
. The jersey competition sounds like a fun way to waste time though 
. I mean, who actually cares about a hypothetical team when there are real issues in the world that need solving 
? Give me something concrete, like a breakthrough in renewable energy or sustainable tech, and then we can talk 
.
that's crazy! i love maro itoje he's my fave player ever 
and seeing him alongside dylan hartley on the same team is giving me all the feels 
cant wait to see who wins that special fan challenge 
France's win is a huge deal, they've really pulled it off this year... and it's crazy that England and France are now tied for most titles since Italy joined back in 2000 
France's seventh title is a big deal, but have you guys thought about how boring the tournament can get? I mean, six teams playing each other twice... it's like they're all just waiting for someone to pull out a good old fashioned Six Nations brawl. 
Instead of this whole "select 15 players from different years" thing, it's just too confusing and hard to manage. And don't even get me started on the fact that you have to choose players from TWO different championships. Like, what if I want my dream team from just one year? 
! I mean, seven titles is insane... it's like they're on another level 
. I love how fans get to choose their own dream team, it's so much fun to imagine what would happen if these players all played together 
! France winning their 7th title is a big deal, they're like the old guard now 
. And can you imagine choosing your own England squad with all these legends mixed together? It's like a dream come true for any rugby fan 
. I think it's awesome that they're giving fans a chance to have their say and be part of the game's history. It just makes the whole experience even more special 
i mean who doesn't love watching these athletes battle it out on the pitch? but what's really interesting to me is how this tournament brings people together, not just across nations but also within them. like, think about all those fans from different regions in england cheering for their favorite players, and how that sense of community can be so powerful 
and i love that they're doing that combined start XV thing, it's a great way to get the fans involved and maybe even inspire some new talent
