Rugby
World Cup champions England face their next challenge when the Six
Nations championship kicks off on 14 February.
The
Six Nations is live and exclusive on the BBC across television,
radio and online.
Digital
viewers can also choose interactive coverage on their television
featuring alternative commentary, different pundits and a choice
of how they watch the game.
The
BBC Sport website has its most comprehensive Six Nations coverage
ever and goes live on 6 February - bbc.kongjiang.org/www.bbc.co.uk/sixnations.
This
is the first full championship that England will be playing in since
their victory in Australia.
Ireland,
Wales, Scotland, France and Italy will all be aiming to stop the
men in white – the current Six Nations champions - in their
tracks.
Matches
