Match schedule at a glance
February was dominated by the Six Nations, and ITV aired every game live. The opening clash saw England take on France on February 4th, followed by the Wales‑Ireland showdown on the 11th. Scotland faced Italy on the 12th, then the blockbuster England‑Scotland match on the 25th wrapped up the month. All matches were broadcast in HD on ITV1, with a repeat on ITV Hub for those who needed a second look.
Club rugby also featured on the schedule. The Premiership’s London Irish vs. Harlequins on February 5th, and the Pro14 clash between Leinster and Munster on the 19th earned prime‑time slots. Each game came with pre‑match talk shows that broke down tactics and player form.
What you missed: Top analysis
Our post‑match breakdowns got into the nitty‑gritty. The England‑France analysis highlighted how England’s line‑out variations gave them a clear edge, while France’s counter‑attack was praised for creativity. In the Wales‑Ireland showdown, the piece on Wales’ defensive structure showed why they held Ireland to just eight points.
Club analysis leaned into coaching decisions. The London Irish vs. Harlequins write‑up explained why Harlequins’ switch to a faster tempo in the second half turned the tide. For the Leinster‑Munster fight, we dissected Munster’s set‑piece dominance and how it forced Leinster to play a more expansive game.
All these articles are still searchable on our site, with video clips and written insights side by side. If you want the full breakdown, just head to the February archive and click on the analysis titles.
Exclusive interviews you’ll want to rewatch
February delivered a handful of one‑on‑one chats that fans still talk about. England captain Owen Farrell opened up about leadership pressure before the England‑Scotland match, while France’s Antoine Dupont revealed his training routine ahead of the France‑Wales clash.
Club stars also got the spotlight. Harlequins’ Sam (Sam) Nichols discussed how the team handled a mid‑season injury crisis, and Munster’s Peter O’Mahony talked about the mental side of playing in a derby. Each interview was filmed in the ITV studio and includes behind‑the‑scenes moments that didn’t make the broadcast.
All interview videos are archived under the February 2023 tag, so you can watch them in full or skim the highlights.
