Quiz: How much do you know about the six nations of the Six Nations?
While pundits are debating potential winners, test your World history knowledge.
THE SIX NATIONS got underway yesterday with France’s clash against Wales at the Stade De France last night.
It is still the oldest rugby tournament between Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales and has seen some major changes in the last few decades – notably, the success of the Women’s championship.
While pundits debate whether Ireland can achieve a three-in-a-row in the same tournament as a well-prepared French team, we’d like to test your knowledge in other ways.
