six nations is here

16 years 4 months ago

Europe's(you happy catsmug) showpiece rugby union event, the 2009 RBS Six Nations, will begin in earnest on Saturday when England take on Italy at Twickenham at 1500 GMT.

Ireland, with new coach Declan Kidney at the helm, will face France at Croke Park in Dublin at 1700 GMT.

Meanwhile, champions Wales will begin the defence of the 2008 crown against Scotland at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

Wales are aiming to become only the sixth team in history to complete back-to-back Grand Slam victories.

While the adverse weather conditions have affected large parts of the sporting weekend, the venues of the three Six Nations matches have so far not suffered any significant problems.


England's opening match will be their 250th at Twickenham as they look to continue their 100% record against Italy.

Flanker Steffon Armitage is poised to make his international debut alongside brother Delon and the pair will become only the ninth set of siblings to play in the same England team.

Ireland have been boosted by the news that Rob Kearney has passed a fitness test and will take his place at full-back against France on Saturday.

Defending champions Wales will be without Gavin Henson at Murrayfield because of a calf strain, so Tom Shanklin will start at centre against Scotland.
