VI NATIONS 2007

As the VI Nations approaches (it starts next week - yaaay!), there has been discussion in the media about the appropriateness of this Tournament’s position in the rugby calendar and whether or not it, or other matches, should be moved. Some arguments are that sensibly, logically, it should be moved to the summer, not least because it would mean a more coherent rugby season, a more constructive training schedule, more convenient travel for supporters. But as Mick Cleary (Telegraph's rugby correspondent) says, who wants to listen to the head when the heart is pleading to be cheered up in the depths of winter? I say: move the VI Nations to January and play rugby ALL year round, please! In the meantime, the Top 14 continues apace with Stade Français meeting Toulouse this evening at the Stade de France! Come on Stade! :)
