You can watch all of England, Ireland and Italy's Natwest 6 Nations home matches LIVE on ITV/ITVHub in 2018.
The Six Nations returns on Saturday in what looks like one of the most open championships in the history of the competition.
England will seek to make history, Scotland a first title since 1999, Ireland a return to silverware, Wales a title challenge, France a fresh start, and Italy a scalp or two.
Never in the history of the championship - since 1883 - has one nation won the title outright for three consecutive years. Eddie Jones' England will get that opportunity.
For the last six years of the championship we have had three nations pick up consecutive titles: 2012 & 2013 by Wales, 2014 & 2015 by Ireland and 2016 & 2017 by England. Who will be next in line to lift the trophy?
A Grand Slam in 2016 in Eddie Jones' maiden year in charge was followed by a successful defence of the title last year, albeit without the Slam.
However, with other nations delivering strong autumn campaigns and England's substantial injury list, the route to lifting the trophy on Super Saturday will not be an easy one.
After an extremely impressive 2016 campaign in which England romped to the Grand Slam under Jones, they set about earning a first back-to-back Slam since 1992 and title defence since 2001.
While performances in 2017 were not at the same level as 2016 - victories against France and Wales could have gone either way - the title was secured before their trip to Dublin on the final weekend after Ireland's defeat to Wales.
A Grand Slam and world record for Test victories in succession was on the line in the Irish capital, but England were outplayed by Ireland and missed out on a place in history.
England's record of 22 wins in 23 Test matches under Jones provides a more than solid foundation for this forthcoming Six Nations.
Since the lows of their pool-stage exit at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, England have become a side that knows how to generate victories from all kinds of situations.
The side's 22 victories have included high-flying performances and wins that have been ground out when the chips were down or when game plans needed to be changed on the hoof.
England's adaptability and experience should hold them in good stead during this Championship and the host of fresh faces arriving into the camp could bring energy, dynamism and a fearless nature to the squad.
Injuries. England's injury list seems to be growing by the day.
When Jones announced his squad for their first game against Italy, the list of players unavailable to him was 13. However, that has grown noticeably since.
Henry Slade has been ruled out for four weeks due to a shoulder injury, Kyle Sinckler was sent home from their training camp in Portugal due to a hamstring complaint and Jack Nowell is 'three or four weeks' away from full fitness.
On top of that trio, there are question marks over Chris Robshaw and Mike Brown being ready for England's opener against Italy.
The most glaring issues thrown up by England's injury count arrive at No 8 and loosehead prop.
With Billy Vunipola and Nathan Hughes on the sidelines, England are without key ball-carriers in their pack and the momentum they use to get on top of teams.
When it comes to the front row, Mako Vunipola is fit right now but any injury to him would see uncapped Lewis Boyce and Alec Hepburn competing to take the reins on that side of the scrum - a tough ask during a Championship as competitive as the Six Nations
