The 2022 Six Nations Tournament will run from February 5 to March 19 and will end with a clash between France and England on the final day, organizers said on Wednesday.
The XV of France, 2nd in the 2021 edition, will launch its campaign by receiving Italy, the eternal wooden spoon of the Tournament, on February 6, before facing Ireland the following week.
The Blues will then go on two trips, to Scotland (February 26) then to Wales (a Friday evening, March 11).
Before finishing against England, narrowly victorious last year at Twickenham (23-20).
They're HERE!

“The 2021 Tournament was one of the tightest in its history with eight out of fifteen games won by seven points or less.
With the suspense of the `` Super Saturday '' and the victory in the last second of France against Wales, the winner of the Tournament was known only after the last match, rejoiced Benjamin Morel, the French director of the competition.
We look forward to next year's Tournament with, we hope, a return to normality and the return of supporters to the stadiums to bring this incomparable atmosphere of the Six Nations Tournament to lounges, pubs and rugby clubs. worldwide."
