Rugby revelry that’s worth a try, by Six Nations commentator Nick Heath

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the savoury aroma of pub fare, these diverse fan bases find common ground in their shared love for rugby. The Six Nations becomes a celebration of cultural nuances.

Guinness Six Nations done right

Is there a better sporting tournament than the Six Nations? The ups, the downs, the good years, the bad, the grit, the flair. The natural ebb and flow as teams peak and rebuild. The ever-improving Italians (they’re everyone’s second team, right?) becoming more and more of a threat. The local rivalries. The camaraderie.
