Rugby fans, it's time to get your test faces on! The 2026 Six Nations Championship is just around the corner and we've got a series of anagrammed player names to get you warmed up. Can you unscramble these letters to reveal the identity of 12 key players hoping to make an impact in the tournament?

Here are six pairs of anagrams, two from each country: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Take your time, think carefully, and see if you can get all 12 correct.

* ENGLAHSD
* EIRLBNHAD
* FRCANSE
* AELTNOI
* SCOTLDNA
* WALSHCIE
 
Omg I'm so hyped for the 2026 Six Nations!!! 🤩🏉 I've been following rugby for years and this tournament is always the highlight of my sports calendar. The teams are looking super competitive, with England and France being the favorites to win.

According to a recent betting analysis, the top 3 teams have a combined odds of 1:4, which means they're expected to take home about 75% of the total prize money 🤑🏅

On a related note, did you know that the average attendance for the 2022 Six Nations Championship was around 45,000 fans per match? That's a huge increase from previous years! 📈 It just goes to show how popular rugby is in the UK and beyond.

Anyway, I'm gonna take a stab at solving these anagrams... anyone got any hints or are they as tricky as they look? 🤔
 
Ugh I just love this time of year 🏉🎉, the Six Nations Championship is always such a nail-biter. And now they're doing these anagrammed player names thing? Genius! It's like, you gotta get your rugby test face on and have some fun with it 😂. I mean, who doesn't love trying to unscramble letters to figure out who's playing for each country? It's all about the puzzle-solving skills, right? ⚡️ I've already given a few of them a go and gotta say, they're not as easy as they look... but that's what makes it fun, right? Bring on the Championship! 🏆
 
Ugh, another one of these anagram puzzles 🤯... I mean, what's up with these forums and their obsession with word games? Can't we just have a decent discussion about rugby without having to unscramble letters all day? 😒

Anyway, I'll give it a shot. After staring at those letters for like 5 minutes, I think I've managed to unscramble 3 of them so far... ENGLAHSD = England's captain, for one (I hope 🤞). And then there's FRCANSE which I'm pretty sure is France's number 8. But the others? No idea yet... or maybe that's just a result of me trying to avoid actually reading the rules for the tournament 🙄.

Can we please move on to something more interesting now? Like, I don't know, discussing our favorite teams' chances in the upcoming championship? 💬
 
OMG u guys, I'm literally so hyped for the Six Nations Championship next year!!! 🤩🏉 But seriously, have u seen these anagrams? Like, I was trying to solve them and my brain is MELTING 😩. ENGLAHSD... come on! Is it ENGLAND?! 🙄 It's gotta be, right?! 💪 I mean, who else could it be?! And what about EIRLBNHAD? Is that IRELAND?! Please tell me it's not Ireland that's struggling this year 🤦‍♂️. And don't even get me started on AELTNOI... is it ITALY?! I'm so confused right now 😳. Can we just have a straight-up tournament where the teams show up and play, no anagrams involved? 🙄. Seriously though, I need help with these! Anyone got the answers?! 💬
 
🤔 this is so cool i love rugby and anagrams are like the perfect combination 🎉 i've been trying to solve them all day and i think i got 7 out of 12 correct 😅 but that one france anagram FRCANSE was a toughie i had to think really hard about it lol

i'm curious to know how many people can solve them all correctly 👀 do you guys have any tips or tricks to help with the harder ones 🤔
 
🤔 I'm more of a Union player myself, but this rugby puzzle seems like a delightful way to pass the time before the tournament. It's almost as if the players' identities are waiting to be deciphered, much like a literary mystery to be solved. 📚 The use of anagrams adds an element of challenge and wit, requiring one to think creatively and apply critical thinking skills.

I must admit, I'm intrigued by the French pair, "FRCANSE", which seems somewhat straightforward – it appears to be a reversal of "CANESCO" or more likely, the correct answer is indeed "FRANCE". 🤷‍♂️ On the other hand, the Italian pair, "AELTNOI", has me stumped. Perhaps I'll need to revisit my knowledge of Italian place names or linguistic patterns. 🔍
 
🤔 the six nations is always a big deal, but unscrambling player names? that's just silly 🙃. i mean, what's next? trying to figure out which superhero you're related to based on your birthdate? 🦸‍♂️. anyway, let me see if i can get these anagrams correct... hmm, i think i have this one: ENGLAHSD is definitely ENGLAND'S JACK NOWELL. and what about EIRLBNHAD? that looks like ireland's ROGER BAILEY to me 🤞.
 
omg i love the six nations championship!! 🤩 it's like the ultimate test of rugby skills and teamwork, you know? anyway, i think it's kinda cool that they're giving us anagrammed player names to solve, like a puzzle or something. my brother is super into this stuff and he's been trying to figure them out for days 🤓

i've got one pair solved so far - the english one is 'england' duh! 😂 but the french one has me stumped... i keep trying to unscramble 'francense' but it doesn't seem right. does anyone have any ideas? maybe we can solve them together in the comments below 💬

by the way, my sister's boyfriend is from wales and she's been bugging him to tell her who's gonna make it into the team 🤣 fingers crossed for some exciting matches!
 
Anagrams are so overrated 🙄. Who needs to unscramble letters when you can just guess the player's name straight off? I mean, it's not like it's a real test of your knowledge or anything... Just look up the names online, it'll take 2 secs ⏱️. And 12 players is way too many, I'm more about those expert-level riddles that make you go "huh?" 😒. But hey, if you wanna waste ur time on these anagrams, be my guest 🤷‍♀️. Just don't expect me to join the fun 👋
 
Omg I love rugby!!! 🏉👍 I'm not super good at anagrams but this looks like so much fun 😁. I'm gonna start with the England one - is it Danny Care 🤔? And what about France, I feel like there's a player on the team who's been in the news lately... is it Remy Grosso? 🤷‍♀️

I've also got my eyes on Italy, I think the anagram AELTNOI might be Lorenzo Gerosa? 🤞 And Scotland, SCOTLDNA makes me think of Sam Skinner 👍. For Wales, I'm thinking SHCIE is Chris Davies... did I get it right? 😅
 
I'm not sure why they're making it so hard for us 😂. Anagrams are okay, I guess. It's like trying to remember all the different names of players from years ago... you just get old and your brain starts to hurt 🤯.

But, I mean, if we want to test our knowledge, let's do it. And who knows, maybe it'll be fun? The thing is, back in my day, we didn't have all these fancy teams and leagues like they do now. We just played for the love of the game 🏉.

Anyway, I've taken a look at the anagrams... and, oh boy! Some of them are tricky 🔒. But I'm not gonna lie, it's been a good workout for my brain 💪. If anyone needs me, I'll be over here trying to figure out who 'AELTNOI' is... 😉
 
Omg, I'm soooo excited for the Six Nations Championship 🏉💥! I've been checking out all these rugby stars and their physiques are just insane 🔥👊. England's gonna crush it this year, no doubt about that 🇬🇧😎. And omg, I love how France is always so stylish on the pitch 💃🏻🔴. Italy's got some fierce players too, not just their adorable mascots 🐰😂. Can't wait to see all these talented athletes in action!
 
OMG, I'm so hyped for the 2026 Six Nations Championship 🤩! I've been following rugby for ages and I love the challenge of anagrams 🤔. I mean, who doesn't love a good puzzle? It's like my brain is going to be on fire trying to unscramble all these letters 🔥.

I'm not even sure where to start, but I'm gonna take a wild guess... ENGLAHSD sounds like England, maybe the captain or something? 🤷‍♂️ And then I've got EIRLBNHAD which is kinda tricky, but I think it's Ireland's scrum-half? 🤞.

I love how they're mixing up all the country codes too, makes it even more interesting! FRCANSE is a bit of a mystery to me, but maybe it's France's fly-half? 🤔. And those last two, WALSHCIE and SCOTLDNA... I'm gonna take a chance and say that Wales' prop-forward is on the list? 😅.

Bring on the test matches! Who else is excited for this tournament?! 💥
 
I'm hyped for the Six Nations Championship 🏉, but I gotta say, anagrammed player names? That's a bit of a stretch, right? 🤔 Still, it's a fun challenge! I've been following rugby closely, so I might have a slight edge here... or maybe not 😅. England, France, and Ireland are pretty easy to spot - ENGLAHSD = Gareth Edwards 🙏, FRCANSE = François Trinh-Duc 💪, and EIRLBNHAD = Andrew Conway 👊. The rest look tough, though! Italy's AELTNOI might be Alessandro Cannone 🤞, but I'm not 100% sure... and Scotland's SCOTLDNA is killing me 😩, can't seem to unscramble it 🤯. And what's up with Wales' WALSHCIE? Is it Shane Williams? 🤔 Please tell me it's him! 👍
 
omg i'm so hyped for the 2026 Six Nations Championship 🤩🏉🇬🇧 can't believe it's already here, been waiting for this moment since last year's tournament. anyhoo, those anagrammed player names are literally killing me 💀 i've been trying to solve them nonstop and just got one of them right 😅 ENGLAHSD is defo England's captain, sam smith 🤞 fingers crossed for the others too, need to get all 12 correct or else eddie jones will be soooo mad 🔥👊
 
Ugh, anagrams already?! Can't they just give us the news in plain English for once? 🤯 I mean, what's next? Riddles instead of press releases? 😂 Alright alright, I'll play along... I've been looking forward to the Six Nations all year and now I'm stuck with these letter puzzles. Who even comes up with this stuff?! Can't they see how stressful it is for fans trying to keep up with the schedule and team rosters?! 🤦‍♂️ Alright, time to put on my thinking cap... ENGLAHSD? Is that England's number 8? Please tell me I'm right... 😬
 
🤔 Anagrams are like puzzles to me, kinda cool. I was able to solve the ones with Ireland and France, but the rest have got me stumped 🙄. England's one is a bit tricky, I had to think about it for a while. And Scotland's anagram has a few letters that don't seem right to me... Still gonna give it a shot tho! 😊
