The former rugby star is hopeful for England to win the Six Nations

Mike Tindall has weighed in on the Six Nations action as the England legend made his predictions for the tournament.

Mike, 47, joined his colleagues Alex Payne and James Haskell in guessing who would be the winner in each of England's games.


The usual presenters were joined by former England rugby stars Mike Brown, Jonny May and Joe Marler.

All six predict that England will beat Scotland, Ireland, and Italy in their upcoming games, but they have differing views on the final game against France.

Mike has gone for an England win, as he predicted five wins out of five at this year's Six Nations.

Mr Payne, Mr May and Mr Brown all agree with the 47-year-old.

Rugby legend Mr Marler has a differing view, as he goes for a draw in the fixture against France.

The only one of the group to predict a loss is Mr Haskell, with France being the favourites to win the entire competition.

England did get off to a winning start yesterday, producing an electrifying display under the lights at Twickenham as they ran out 48-7 winners against Wales in their opening match.

Steve Borthwick's team aimed to follow in the footsteps of France and Italy, who had defeated Ireland and Scotland respectively.

And England did exactly that, producing a remarkable display of rugby that will send a strong message to their rivals.

The rout started almost immediately, with Mr Borthwick's men fuelled with confidence following victories over Australia, Fiji and New Zealand in the autumn.

England have now won their past 12 matches, and by scoring seven tries, they've also secured a bonus point that could prove crucial by the end of the campaign.

Their next fixture will be against Scotland, with the showdown set to take place on Saturday.

Mike's predictions come after a trip to Australia with his wife, Zara Tindall, as the couple went down under for their role as ambassadors for the Magic Millions Carnival.

Following the event, Mike said: "What a week for the @magicmillionspolo and @magicmillions race day.

"So good being down under and catching up with so many friends."

The former England rugby star continued: "The Gold Coast didn't disappoint and already looking forward to next year!! Bit chilly back home!!"

Mike shared that the couple were staying at Halcyon House during their trip down under.

The hotel boasts of being ranked the fourth best hotel in Australasia by the Conde Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025.

The 47-year-old was full of praise for the establishment, describing it as "such a cool low-key place".
