Rugby union The Breakdown Six Nations 2018: The Breakdown’s team-by-team form guide Eddie Jones can expect his toughest Six Nations yet, Ireland will threaten if they can improve away and Scotland need a winning start How will the six teams fare in this year’s Six Nations tournament? He believes in the tried and proven and does not regard the Six Nations as a laboratory. They have not won at Twickenham, where they finish their campaign with a potential title decider against the champions, since 2010. With trips to Twickenham – Wales have not beaten England in the Six Nations since 2013 – and Ireland to follow, the first game is all about winning, not thrilling. France need more than toil and sweat but one Six Nations record that has survived their slump this decade is that they have never lost their opening match at home.
