Recommended bets on the Six Nations tournament

In the 6 Nations Rugby tournament, there are six international sides. This means every team has to play once against each of its five opponents with the home advantage in alternate seasons, giving a total of 15 matches per Championship. The best possibility for each team is to host three times and travel to Italy once, as they are the weakest team with six wooden spoons in the last six tournaments.

The lowest rugby betting odds are often for the Italians' opponents. But in rugby, home winning percentages can really be measured positively. For this 2022 tournament, a recommended bet is on Ireland, Wales and France winning at home three times.
