The competition was first held in 1987, and South Africa and New Zealand hold the most titles with three each.

- England
- Wales
- Ireland
- Scotland
- Italy
- France
The tournament began in 1883 as the Five Nations, but since 2000 it has been known as the Six Nations as Italy joined the competition.
Aside from the outright winner, there are other achievements up for grabs which you'll be able to bet on.

Rugby union betting markets at William Hill
When it comes to rugby union betting, there are tons of markets to choose from.
The most common bet is the 80-minute market. Here, you're simply betting on which side will win the game.
Handicap betting on rugby union
If you're looking to bet on a match which could be a one-sided affair, it might be worth looking at the handicap betting.
The handicap effectively gives the outsider a head-start in terms of betting.
For example, if you back the favourites to win -14 points, they must win by 15 or more points for your bet to pay out. While, if you back the outsider by +14 points, they can lose by 13 points and your bet would still be a winner.

Rugby union betting tips
here are a few Rugby betting tips:
Team news– check to see who's fit and if any key players are injured or suspended. This could have a big impact on the game.
Stats and match facts – look at the stats and find out what teams are in form and who isn't. There are loads of sites out there to help you make an informed decision.
Weather forecast - if it's due to rain, then a wet ball is harder to handle, which could see a higher number of unforced errors and turnovers. However, teams which have a strong set piece game could favour the wet and windy conditions.
