If the 2023 men’s Six Nations fixtures look familiar it is because the organisers seem to be allergic to change. The list of games for the championship next year is all but identical to the 2021 schedule, save for a couple of tweaked kick-off times, and is almost precisely the same as the 2022 French-dominated tournament that concluded last month.
For the third consecutive year England will play Scotland and Wales will meet Ireland on the opening weekend, the only notable tweak being the reversal of the final two rounds of games. Rather than England ending up in Paris again they are due to head to Dublin for their last tournament outing before the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
