7) Ireland going for a third consecutive title

2016 is a big year for Ireland. Its 100 years since the Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin and the Irish are in buoyant mood. No more place will be this be obvious, than on the rugby pitch during the Six Nations Championship, where the team will be defending their 2015 victory. Prepare for some heroic battles during the championship.


8) Okay, well there is a bit of big men smashing into each other…


Rugby is a beautiful sport showcasing some of the greatest athletes in the world. But let’s be honest, one of the biggest draws the sport has are the massive collisions between two (or sometimes more) giant people.


9) Nigel Owens


While it may seem strange to be excited about a referee, Nigel Owens is undoubtedly the best in the world right now.


10) Think footballers have all the skills? Think again.
