With both the Men’s Six Nations and the U20s Six Nations complete for 2025, we can produce our final combined tables. If you want to see more about the format and idea behind this, read our recent post here.
Aggregate Table
The Aggregate Table (adding up the totals for the Senior and U20s tables) throws up the same finishing order as the Men’s Senior table. France and England share 8 total wins, but the bonus points tally of the French gives them a clear victory.
While Wales pick up three wins in this format thanks to some strong results in the U20s tournament, the Wales Senior team’s failure to record a victory means Wales finish bottom of the table on points difference behind Italy.
Ireland sit in third, well behind the leaders thanks to poor performances at the U20s level.
Combined Scores Table
In this one we combine the Senior and U20s scores of nations against each other in each round to create a ‘new result’.
Firstly, here are the combined results:
ROUND 1
Ireland Combined 30 England Combined 41, France Combined 106 Wales Combined 19, Scotland Combined 41 Italy Combined 41
ROUND 2
Italy Combined 41 Wales Combined 35, England Combined 53 France Combined 35, Scotland Combined 33 Ireland Combined 65
ROUND 3
Wales Combined 38 Ireland Combined 39, England Combined 73 Scotland Combined 28, Italy Combined 29 France Combined 131
ROUND 4
Scotland Combined 62 Wales Combined 41, England Combined 80 Italy Combined 48, Ireland Combined 39 France Combined 64
ROUND 5
Italy Combined 32 Ireland Combined 34, Wales Combined 37 England Combined 81, France Combined 80 Scotland Combined 56
These results come together to produce this table:
This table sees England claim the title, with a Grand Slam. The key result was the Round Two U20s loss for France (England won 27-10), which gave England a combined victory of 53-35 when put together with the Senior result (England 26 France 25).
Wales are again rooted at bottom of the table, despite winning three games at U20s level. In each round the combined results with the Senior team mean they also pick up a whitewash in this format. Wales U20s won by relatively narrow margins and the leaky defence of the Senior team sees them lose all the ground gained at youth level.

Check back later in the season when we do a combined Senior Men’s, U20s and Women’s table.
