"France begin the defence of their Six Nations crown in blockbuster fashion given they face Ireland in Paris on opening night. It should be some contest between the sides who have won the last four championships between them. Elsewhere, Italy begin their campaign against Scotland in Rome while England take on Wales at Twickenham, with Steve Borthwick's men eyeing a first Six Nations title since 2020 on the back of an excellent autumn."
"Milano Cortina is the host location for the 25th edition of these Games and, specifically, means 116 events in eight sports taking place at sites across Lombardy and north-east Italy during 19 days of competition, with Ski mountaineering making its debut on the Olympic programme. Team GB will be seeking to improve on the two medals one gold, one silver they won in Beijing four years ago."
Jannik Sinner will aim to become only the second man in the Open era to win three consecutive Australian Open singles titles. Madison Keys will seek to defend the women's title she won over Aryna Sabalenka. Roger Federer will return to Melbourne Park for the first time since retiring in 2022 in a Battle of the World No 1s match. France open their Six Nations defence against Ireland while Italy face Scotland and England host Wales with Steve Borthwick seeking a first title since 2020. The Red Roses begin the Women's Six Nations at home to Ireland aiming for an eighth successive crown. Milano Cortina will host the Winter Olympics with 116 events across eight sports and ski mountaineering debuting.
