The annual Six Nations Rugby championship is one of the most illustrious tournaments on the rugby calendar. Each year, the national teams of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy battle it out to be crowned kings of the nations. Close neighbours will battle for victory, with Scotland and Ireland kicking off the Six Nations 2017 tournament on Saturday 4th February in Edinburgh. Later the same day will see Le Crunch when England meet France at Twickenham. The Six Nations tournament started life as the Home Nations Championship (1883–1909 and 1932–39), which was contested by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales who were later joined by France in the Five Nations and then Italy to complete the line-up for today’s competition.
