It’s not too long until 2017 graces us with its sporting delights. A firm favourite early in the years sporting calendar is the rugby six nations.

The event takes place from the 4^th February to the 18^th March 2017 and its assuredly going to be as thrilling, hopefully more so, than in previous years.

The first match is between Scotland and Ireland on the afternoon of the 4^th February at Murrayfield, the last is Ireland versus England on the evening of the 18^th March at the Aviva Stadium and who knows what will happen during the matches in between?

Can rugby six nations 2016 be beaten?

Wales and Ireland scored more tries in the rugby six nations 2016 but couldn’t beat England’s five wins from five matches.

Can Italy shake off their less than spectacular performance and stun rivals to win the 2017 tournament?

Will France limp back to form in 2017? Will the England team be able to fend off their rivals and win the rugby six nations for a 28^th time?

Only time will tell but we know that the athleticism, skills and talent during play will be breath-taking.

Why would you want to be anywhere but at the stadium where the action takes place?

When companies like DTB Sports and Events offer luxurious six nations hospitality packages at all of the venues, Twickenham, Murrayfield, Aviva Stadium, Millenium Stadium, Stade de France and the Stadio Olimpico, why would you stay at home or nip to the pub to watch a match?
