Statement: The Six Nations could dump bonus-points system

As the final round of the men's championship approaches, the prospect of a thrilling conclusion looms large, with Ireland, England, Scotland, and France all still in contention for the title.

The complex permutations of "Super Saturday" mean that Ireland could conceivably lose to Scotland and still clinch the championship, even if England were to triumph against France in Lyon.

This outcome would raise questions about the competition's integrity, as Ireland would be crowned champions despite winning fewer matches than England.

In response to queries about potential adjustments to the bonus points system, Harrison acknowledged the possibility, stating, "Yes, if we think bonus points are a problem. But remember why bonus points are there – bonus points are there to promote positive rugby.

"It’s about fan engagement, right? Also, players know it’s not as though we’re saying, ‘You’ve played so well, we’re going to award you an extra point afterwards’.

"No, I don’t think it will change."

As per this year, the 2025 Championship will see BBC and ITV sharing coverage in the UK, with S4C offering Welsh language options. France Television will be the home of the Championship for French fans, RTE and Virgin Media will once again cover the games in Ireland.

In Italy, Sky Italia will continue their coverage of the Championship in 2025. The host broadcast coverage will also be complemented by widespread international broadcast coverage and a World Feed service.

Groundbreaking AI technology has unveiled its jaw-dropping forecasts for the next two decades of Six Nations glory, and the results are nothing short of mind-blowing.

According to the cutting-edge predictions, England is poised to clinch victory in a staggering five out of the next 20 tournaments, while Scotland is primed for a historic triumph, marking their first title since their Five Nations conquest in 1999.

However, the road ahead seems daunting for Wales, as the AI oracle forecasts a prolonged wait until 2041 for their next taste of Six Nations glory.

Meanwhile, traditional powerhouses such as England, Ireland, and France are slated to dominate the competition, casting a shadow over Welsh aspirations.
