Six Nations

I haven't written anything about this year's Six Nations Rugby tournament in Europe. Unlike years before, this year sees no team running away for the title which is great. For many years one team would do the Grandslam, winning against the other five and taking the title. It's good to see when Wales do it from thier recent history, but it does get a little boring.

This year sees France and Ireland on 6 points going into the last week of games. England and Scotland are 2 points further back with Wales still in there and, of course, Italy holding up the bottom of the table.

To make matters even more exciting, all the games are being played on the same day today, unlike previous weeks that included Sunday games to allow for soccer fans. The schedule is:

Italy v Scotland, 15:30
Wales v France, 17:30
England v Ireland, 19:30

There are so many permutations about who could win if who wins against whom that it's not really worth writing about here, but all I can tell you is to be glued to your seats for 6 hours of intense Northern Hemisphere rugby this afternoon.
