6 Nations 2026 Thursday night! WTF

Ciaran Trainor


Referees in England
I see the powers that be have decided to look after the fans by starting the six nations with France v Ireland on Thursday 5th Feb.
They really don't care about real fans do they?
 
From what I’ve seen it was to avoid a clash with the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Given the 6N is a major source of funds for the unions, did they have much choice?
 
so why dont the winter olympics open on the thursday instead?


N.B. for the avoidance of doubt that is not a serious suggestion...
