Hi guys! I’m Alessandro M. and today no football, ok? What about some rugby news? I am going to tell you about the Six Nations Championship 2017. The Six Nations Championship is beginning on 6 February 2017 at the Stade de France.
The Six Nations Championship is a
rugby tournament involving six European sides: England, France, Ireland,
Italy, Scotland and Wales.
A bit of history
The Six Nations is the successor to the Home Nations Championship (1883–1909 and 1932–39), played between teams from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which was the first international rugby union tournament. With the addition of France, it became Five Nations Championship (1910–31 and 1947–99), which in turn became the Six Nations Championship with the addition of Italy.
Wales achieved the first two in a row in 1908 and 1909; England
have done it three times, in 1913 and 1914, 1923 and 1924 and 1991 and 1992, while France did it in 1997 and 1998. England hold the record for the number of
Grand Slams won with 12, followed by Wales with 11, France with 9, Scotland
with 3 and Ireland with 2. The last edition of the Six Nations Championship
was won by England. Yes, but what about us??? Also us ( Italy ) have
won a title…yes, even thorugh not a very good one, the wooden
spoon ;)
Let's discuss rugby and its popularity
In my opinion rugby is a beautiful sport and it is even better than football, but now all the children wants to play football and become famous footballers, especially in Italy!

What do you think about rugby? Do you like it? In your
opinion, why do children prefer football to rugby?
I'll be watching the Six Nations
My favourite team in the next Six Nations will be Italy, no matter what. I'm ready, I know they aren’t very good, no great expectations, then. Italians are great footballers, but they have long way to go at rugby. Which team will you support, instead?

ENJOY WATCHING!

ReplyDeleteFinally no football!😂 I like rugby,even though it is a sport for boys. I'll support Italy,of course😍🇮🇹
ReplyDeleteI've never understand much this sport but I think it is cool! Maybe children prefer football because they don't really know this sport...
ReplyDeleteMaybe I knew more about football! I have watched rugby only in some tv series for teenagers, the coolest boy was always a player of rugby.
ReplyDeleteGood job,Alessandro.
I don't like rugby and I don't follow the matches, but it is a very interesting sport!
ReplyDeleteI don't like rugby but this championship is very famous around the world.
ReplyDeleteAnyway good post. I think people prefer football because it is promoted by media more than anything else...
I like rugby, I watched the matches of Italian rugby team at the Olympic Stadium of Rome 4 times and I'd like to watch another match at the stadium.
ReplyDeleteWell done Alessandro!🏈👍🏻
I don't like playing rugby probably because I haven't got the body of a rugby player but I like watching the matches of this sport. 🏉
ReplyDeleteI don't like playing rugby but I sometimes watched the matches of Italian rugby team.
