We've been excited about the 2019 Six Nations international rugby union for ages, and the curtain raiser certainly didn't disappoint. And this year's competition is as important as ever, with the 6 teams making final preparations for the Rugby World Cup later in the year. This guide will let you watch all the action from the comfort of your home, or anywhere else you can get an internet connection for that matter – live stream Six Nations 2019 rugby from anywhere.
The impressive Irish are odds-on favourites to take the 2019 Six Nations title and make it two in a row after their Grand Slam last year. Captain Rory Best's men recorded a famous victory over the All Blacks in November and fans and players alike are starting to dare to believe that a World Cup win could be within their grasp.
England are in a strange place with their best XV still seemingly undecided by Eddie Jones. They recorded impressive autumn victories against South Africa and Australia and yet looked vulnerable against Japan. The 2019 Six Nations should therefore be a useful litmus test, as it should for Wales who beat the same Southern Hemisphere opposition late last year. Scotland continue to go from strength to strength and they'll be looking to improve on a 2018 campaign that included Calcutta Cup success over England.
France and Italy had 2018s to forget and have a lot of improvements to make should they wish to challenge either here or in Japan.
