"Ultimately, they made their dominance count on their good days and picked up the bonus points they needed along the way. To concede 96 points in the last two games will undermine their credentials as an all-time winner, but they were the best of the bunch in 2026."
Rugby experts provide their analysis of the 2026 Six Nations championship, deemed one of the most exhilarating tournaments ever. The winning team established themselves as the best competitor through effective dominance on their strongest days and strategic bonus point collection. However, their defensive performance raised questions about their status as an all-time great, particularly after conceding 96 points across their final two matches. Despite this vulnerability, the team's overall performance and ability to capitalize on their advantages secured them the championship title.
