Six Nations 2025 Championship Favourites

Rugby Union betting is dominated by the Six Nations, which boasts an average viewership of between 3 and 4.5 million in the UK alone. In the early Six Nations betting for 2025, defending champions Ireland have emerged as the clear favourites to retain their crown. France are expected to be their closest challengers, especially having placed second in the previous two seasons and lifted the title with a perfect record in 2022. The latest Six Nations rugby odds have England and their Auld enemy Scotland as the third and fourth favourites, respectively, while Wales and Italy are considered to be rank outsiders.

Ireland Odds

Ireland’s Six Nations outright market odds are backed around 2.10. These odds imply a 47.61% probability of Andy Farrell’s men prevailing for the third consecutive year. However, the Irish have lost three of their previous six tests, including a narrow 23-22 defeat to England at Twickenham on March 9th. The Wolfhounds may be a little underpriced to record a hat trick of titles in 2025. However, they’ve also won 13 of their last 15 Six Nations games since 2021 and are deserved favourites on balance.

France Odds

Since their heavy 38-17 home defeat to Ireland at the beginning of the 2024 Six Nations campaign, Les Bleus have lost just one of their nine test matches. They have also been boosted by the recent return of world-class scrum-half Antoine Dupont, who helped the nation’s Sevens team to win the World Series and Olympic gold during the summer. Les Bleus have lost just two of their last 15 Six Nations matches too and offer genuine value with 6 Nations winner odds of 3.25.

England Odds

Since a 52-17 win on the road against Japan on June 22nd, the beleaguered Three Lions have lost five successive matches. Sure, these defeats have come against New Zealand (three times), Australia and South Africa, but England’s error-prone and inconsistent displays have seen their rugby Six Nations odds drift to 4.50. Steve Borthwick’s side haven’t won more than three games in a single Six Nations campaign since they last lifted the title in 2020. So, they may arguably be underpriced in the outright market despite only being third favourites.

Scotland Odds

When engaging in Six Nations betting, you can back Scotland to win outright at around 11.00. These odds imply just a 9.09% probability of a win for ‘The Thistles’, who placed fourth in 2024 and recorded two victories in their five matches. Scotland’s enduring inconsistency has much to do with their high-tempo, all-out attacking style. For example, they blitzed England thanks to a sublime attacking display and Duhan van der Merwe’s hattrick at Murrayfield in February, before shipping 31 points to Italy during a two-point defeat in Rome.

Wales Odds

Wales coach Warren Gatland has come under intense scrutiny of late. The Dragons have lost 11 successive matches since a 43-19 victory over Georgia on October 7th, 2023. This desperate sequence included five defeats in the 2024 Six Nations. The decision by Gatland to name several young and inexperienced players in his squad for the Autumn Nations Series has also impacted recent results, with a clear focus on future development rather than current success. Considering this approach, it’s little wonder that Gatland’s men are priced at a distant 34.00, one step ahead of Wales, the current underdog forSix Nations fixtures in 2025.

Italy Odds

Before 2024, Italy had lost 42 consecutive Six Nations matches dating back to February 28th, 2015. However, the Azzurri enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2024, winning two and drawing one of their five games to finish fourth with 11 points. Their 13-13 draw against France at the Decathlon Arena was particularly impressive, with only a missed kick off the tee. Still, the Azzurri are priced at a distant 201.00 according to the outright Rugby Union betting odds. These odds may be a little long, but it’s hard to see Italy challenging for the title in 2025.

Six Nations Betting Markets

Rugby is a popular sport to bet on due to how entertaining it is, but another reason why many Irish punters enjoy a spot of Six Nations betting online is due to the fact that there are many different markets to bet on. Below you can find out more about the most popular Six Nations betting markets.

Match Winner Betting

This is all about trying to predict the team that will go on to win the match. This type of bet has become very popular due to the fact that it a simple one to get to grips with. If your chosen team wins, you win your bet. If your chosen team draws or loses, you lose your bet.

Draw No Bet Betting

This is essentially the same as above, except that If the Six Nations championship match finishes in a draw, you will get your stake back. The odds for this market will never be as high as those on offer for the match winner market since you have added insurance in case of the final score being tied.

Six Nations Handicap Betting

When it comes to rugby, there will sometimes be matches where there is a big gulf in class between the two teams. In such a scenario, betting on the favourite is not worth it because of the low odds, while betting on the underdog is also not worth it because they will most likely go on to lose.

In such scenarios, you can bet on a European handicap, which is where you give one team a hypothetical points advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field. If you want to eliminate the option of a draw, then you can make use of Asian handicaps.

Double Chance Betting

A double chance is a two-in-one bet where you are betting on one of the participating teams to win or draw the match. If you want to back the home team, then opt for 1X. If you would like to back the away team, then opt for 2x. You can also go for 12, which is where you are backing the home or away team to win. Once again, due to fact that you have extra insurance, the Six Nations betting odds will not be as intriguing.

Winning Margin Betting

A winning margin wager is one where you are betting on the points margin that a team will win by. You will get a range of different points ranges, and you need to predict the one that the final winning points tally will fall into. You can get some pretty enticing Six Nations odds for this market since it is not an easy one to get right.

  • Check out form: Before you bet on match winner 6 nations odds, for example, it is wise to check out the team’s form. If they have been on a bit of a losing streak, consider betting on something else.
  • Look at head-to-heads: Teams often have that one team that they perform poorly against, so check out their head-to-head record before you bet. If a team has lost their five last matches against one team, for instance, we do not recommend betting on them to come out on top.
  • Check out injuries and suspensions: Rugby can be a brutal game, so injuries are not rare. Furthermore, players can be sent off and receive lengthy bans for indiscipline. If a team is missing some of their best players, their odds of winning will decrease.
