	Rugby Union Six Nations Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.

		After 12 years of occasional friendly matches between the teams, the inaugural Home Championship, comprising England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales was played in 1883.

	Irish Post: Ireland must deliver under title pressure
		A Triple Crown title for the first time in 19 years in last season’s RBS Six Nations campaign along with the runnersup place in the championship for the previous two years has whetted the appetites of all those in Irish rugby circles who believe that an Irish Grand Slam is now a realistic objective.
		This year’s Six Nations draw also favours Eddie O’Sullivan’s team with top nations England and France travelling to Dublin and should, therefore, prove to be one of the most fiercely-contested Northern Hemisphere championships in recent times.
		Hopefully, by the time Ireland reach the Millennium Stadium to play Wales on March 19, they will still be on course for that elusive Six Nations championship title.

		Time was when A internationals were standard Friday night appetisers on Six Nations' weekends and the Irish side was picked very much as a second-string team, but this Friday's one-off return of the fixture against France at Donnybrook on Friday sees a notable change in approach with the selection of a relatively callow line-up.
