London Six Nations Rugby
Six Nations Rugby 2007
This Saturday sees the start of one of the highlights of the annual sporting calendar in Britain, the Six Nations Rugby Championship. Its a competition between the national teams of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France and Italy where each team plays the other once.
It originally started in 1883 as a tournament involving the British ‘home’ nations, France joined in 1910 and the Five Nations competition was played until 2000 when rugby in Italy had progressed enough for them to take part. The matches take place in February and March and using England as an example, this year they’ll play Scotland, Italy and France at home and Ireland and Wales away. Next year the fixtures will be reversed.

Stadium tours in London
There’s a lot of sport that goes on in London throughout the year and many of the major venues offer stadium tours. I should probably include the Circus Tavern in Purfleet after Monday’s epic world championship final between Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld, one of the greatest matches in darts history, but here are some of the main outdoor arenas you can visit.
The Emirates Stadium Home of the mighty Arsenal since last summer and the newest stadium in the Premiership, tours of the Emirates are available daily depending on the club’s schedule of games.

Don’t touch the family jewels
Honouring a bet is one thing but this is a little extreme.
