Supercomputer predicts Six Nations 2024 Winner

Excitement is high as the yearly Six Nations rugby competition begins tomorrow!

The countdown to the 2024 Six Nations is over, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. While fans can enjoy the unpredictable nature of the tournament, data analysts at Grosvenor Sport have attempted to peer into the future with their supercomputer. And the news is good for the reigning champions, Ireland. Their simulations predict a dominant Irish victory in Six Nations 2024, with a whopping 61.5% chance of lifting the trophy. Considering their historical post-World Cup slump, this would be their second consecutive Six Nations title and a remarkable feat.

The data also suggests a 30.5% chance of Ireland achieving a Grand Slam, meaning victories in all five matches. France, the hosts for the opening match against Ireland, is not far behind, with a 31.5% chance of winning the tournament and a 15.6% shot at the Grand Slam. This sets the stage for a potentially tournament-defining clash in Marseille. Meanwhile, England’s fans might face disappointment. The supercomputer gives them a mere 5.2% chance of winning the Six Nations, continuing their four-year title drought. Their chances of a Grand Slam are even slimmer at 3%. Scotland, aiming for their fourth consecutive Calcutta Cup victory against England, have a 1.4% chance of winning the tournament, while Wales and Italy are predicted to finish lower down the table. Still reeling from Louis Rees-Zammit’s departure, Wales has a 0.4% chance of winning, while Italy faces an uphill battle to avoid the wooden spoon with an 84% chance of finishing last.

These predictions, while intriguing, come with a disclaimer: rugby is a game of passion, grit, and unpredictable moments. Injuries, red cards, and inspired individual performances can rewrite any script. So, as the players take the field, remember this: while the data speaks, the final story will be written in the heat of the competition. Will Ireland defend their crown? Will France rise to the challenge? Or will an underdog defy the odds? Will there be a Grand Slam in 2024, and if so, who will claim it? Only time and the roar of the crowd will tell.
