The 2024 Six Nations tournament gets underway on Friday and UK Betting Sites are now offering specials on different outcomes during the event this year.
Odds are offered for the Grand Slam at this year's event with the Grand Slam an informal honour that is recognises the Championship winners that have won all their games.
Ireland were the last team to win the Grand Slam last year after a dominant performance at the Six Nations saw them storm the tournament.

Paddy Power say that the Grand Slam will NOT be completed this year with odds of evens that no team does so and France are 9/4 favourites amongst the participating teams for the Grand Slam.

What the expert says...
Further specials say that Ireland are the favourites to win the Triple Crown
The Triple Crown is an honour that is contested at the Six Nations amongst the "Home Nations" of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales which is given if any of those teams defeats all three others.
There was traditionally no trophy associated with the Triple Crown but since 2006 it is now a formal honour with a Triple Crown shield awarded to the victors.
England are the leaders in the Triple Crown overall leaderboard with 26 wins, followed by Wales with 22, Ireland with 13 and Scotland with 10.
Ireland are the 11/10 favourites to win the Triple Crown this year with big odds that they do so.
| Triple Crown Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ireland | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| No Winner | 17/10 | 37.0% |
| England | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Scotland | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Wales | 35/1 | 2.8% |
France are the bookies favourites to win the Six Nations this year
France are the favourites to win the 2024 Six Nations with bookmakers also offering overall odds on who will win the event this year.
The betting odds say there's an 11/10 chance of France winning the event this year with Ireland following at 17/10 in the market.
Those odds suggest that it's going to be a two horse race for the Six Nations with England following behind in third place at 13/2.
