Six Nations (RBS 6 Nations) Rugby 2008 Live On The Internet
The Six Nations Rugby tournament is probably the second biggest Rugby competition after the Rugby World Cup. Played between northern hemisphere national teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy. The 6 Nations
was previously known as the 5 Nations (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France) and originally as the Home Nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) starting way back in 1883.
Involving some of the oldest grudge matches in Rugby the 6 Nations seems to thrive on exciting, physical Rugby. As well as the 6 Nations title itself there are also several smaller prizes played during the course of the Six Nations the most famous
of which being the Calcutta Cup played between England and Scotland.
England suprised many times with their performance in the 2007 Rugby World Cup coming from an appaling start to reach the final, this must make them favourites. I'm sure that both France and Ireland will be very keen to make amends for their poor shows though.
