The Six Nations Championship live on S4C

31 January 2024

S4C will broadcast every Wales game live in this year's Six Nations Championship, as well as every Wales Under-20s game.

The coverage will be presented by Sarra Elgan alongside reporter Lauren Jenkins, with Gareth Charles and Gwyn Jones in the commentary box.

Joining them as part of the analysis team will be former Wales internationals Rhys Priestland, Jamie Roberts, Andrew Coombs, Jonathan Davies, Sioned Harries and Nicky Robinson.

Sarra Elgan said:

"This year's Six Nations Championship comes hot on the heels of the Rugby World Cup and Warren Gatland's team is facing quite a challenge."

"Some of the big names in Welsh rugby won't be part of the squad this year, due to injuries, retirement or, like in the case of Louis Rees-Zammit, because he's moved on to a challenge in another sport.

"The first game against Scotland is going to be a challenge for Wales. The big question is whether the young players in the squad will be able to prove themselves at the highest level?"

Rhys Priestland said:

"I'm excited to be part of the S4C team this year for the Six Nations, especially following the World Cup.

"The Six Nations is a celebration of every nation that takes part. These countries meet every year, so home or away, it's always a good time.

"As for Wales' hopes - it's hard to say. Several experienced players have left but a lot of these young guys have been playing well. That first game against Scotland is going to be a tough challenge - they are a stable squad who haven't lost a lot since the World Cup. And in the Six Nations, that first game is so important."

The Six Nations season kicks off on Friday 2 February as Wales' Under-20s team face Scotland in the CSM Stadium in Colwyn Bay, before the men's teams go head-to-head at the Principality Stadium on Saturday 3 February.

Clwb Rygbi Rhyngwladol will follow the Welsh teams in both Championships, with games shown live on S4C, S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer, and is produced by BBC Wales.

Also part of S4C's offering around the Six Nations will be the new series, Stryd i'r Sgrym, where Scott Quinnell trains a team to play a brand new format of rugby for people of mixed abilities.

Jonathan Davies, Sarra Elgan and Nigel Owens will return with a host of guests for another series of Jonathan.

And following the success of last season's Cwis Bob Dydd, to coincide with the Six Nations, the quiz returns for 7 weeks with the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the Wales v Italy game on 16 March.
