	European Nations Cup (Rugby Union) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also referred to as the "Six Nations B" or simply ENC, the European Nations Cup is a second-level competition for European nations where Rugby Union is still an amateur sport.
		Despite the name the European Nations Cup is in fact a series of 4 divisions of 6 teams with promotion and relegation between them.
		There is, however, at present little prospect of any of the teams being promoted to the Six Nations as the gap in terms of playing standards is simply too big.

		The Six Nations Championship, (2000-) formerly known as the Five Nations Championship, is an annual international rugby union competition held between six European sides; England, France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
		The importance of the competition has decreased slightly since the introduction of the Rugby Union World Cup, but the long standing rivalries between teams mean that it remains a passionate and fiercely contested prize.

	IRB Invests In Rugby’s Global Development - Heavensgame Rugby Union at its best
		The Rugby World Cup has enjoyed wonderful growth in its relatively short history but it must be recognised that other events such as the Olympics and soccer world cup are far more established, and it took FIFA 60 years to move its premier event out of its South American and European strongholds.
		This was a clear commitment to developing Rugby globally and increasing competitiveness, reflected by the fact that as well as re-investing in the traditional base (the Tier 1 Unions) the IRB has committed around £17 million to development programmes in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Unions.
		Rugby has undergone a profound transformation in just 10 years since the introduction of the professional era and while our core values and aims have not changed, our structures and working practices need to evolve.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Rugby - Ripe for rugby league conversion
		THIS afternoon’s European Nations Cup Final sees Scotland’s rugby league internationalists play the role of spectators, knowing that, but for one unforced error in the last minute of their game with Ireland three weeks ago, they would be marching out to play England in Warrington.
		Considering that they were brought together as a squad only in late October, a reborn Scotland can still be proud of their performances in their two European Nations Cup games, especially the victory in France against a French side who played regularly during the Scots’ financially-enforced two-year hibernation.
		Exiles such as Neil Foster, Ash Carroll, Chris Fletcher and James Mack play in England’s lower divisions and share that experience with the residents in the Scotland A squad, all of whom are Union-converts.

	Exiles Rugby Union Football Club, Copenhagen, Denmark - History
		The common bond of being brought up with rugby as a way of life and being "exiled" in a foreign land attracted members from many different nations and all walks of life and the early years were enormously successful for the Exiles.
		Although the Exiles won the cup in 1989, a day enjoyed particularly by Jim Brown, Nick Morton and John Harris, all of whom played in the 1976 victory as well as the '89 game, the Exiles are not the dominant force they once were.
		The Aarhus sevens, which was the closed national sevens championships, was won by the Exiles every year (six times in all) until it became an open tournament in 1981, at which time a new trophy was presented, and the Exiles allowed to keep the old one for eternity.
