Ireland fittingly won the 2023 Grand Slam on St Patrick’s Day weekend with a 29-16 victory over Steve Borthwick's England.

The Six Nations will be hosted in eight different cities around Europe.

England will host games at London's Twickenham Stadium with Ireland hosting at the Aviva.

Gregor Townsend's Scotland have their home games scheduled at Murrayfield Stadium, while Wales will be playing at the Millennium Stadium.
