Oval’s Six Nations Championship Simulator predicts Ireland are favourites for back-to-back titles!
Considering strength of schedule, competition form, and - uniquely among rugby prediction models - squad strength, Oval’s analytics team simulated thousands of outcomes of this season’s Six Nations. In 54.6% of these simulated tables, Ireland finished top.
However, no team has ever sandwiched a World Cup with consecutive Six Nations titles, and Ireland face France in Round 1. The winner of this fixture will be favourite for the Championship afterwards; Ireland’s chances of victory will drop below 30% with a loss, France’s below 10%. The jeopardy for both teams is over 40% - it’s game on!

This is #class.
Sam Whitelock was a lock for the #AllBlacks in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final, where the All Blacks lost to the Springboks by a single point: 12 - 11.
He acknowledged the pain of losing but also took time to acknowledge the winning Springboks:
"It does take time to process. It's something that will stick with our team - the one that got away. It doesn't take anything away from South Africa. They played exceptional rugby... they were playing winning rugby, and they got the job done. It's history now, we can't change it, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, but it is what it is."
More importantly, he shared his encouraging views on the Sam Cane red card, which dropped the All Blacks to 14 men at the 29th minute mark:
"Sam [Cane] didn't play the way he wanted to. You get around him. It's the human part of it. You take away the rugby, and you just worry about your mates. Some people need space, some people need support being close, some people you don't say anything. So it's working out what that person needs and do it. The team were awesome. Everyone stuck together. There was no blaming of people or anything like that. That is probably one of the proudest things about that time - we all stayed together; we didn't split and become divided."
-----
This is what a team should look like. There will be wins and losses. But you stick together. You rally around someone when he hurts. You don't blame. You encourage and support. You be gracious to the winner.
This is my work and life philosophy too. #Litigation is a team sport. #Life is a team sport. We must have #class.
