#6. France - 4.3

They said: "

Oh non, non, non! C’est un fixe! Zose bastards voted for Brexit anyway!

"Romance, liberty, enlightenment. Let’s face it, there are lots of things we associate with our continental neighbours, France, but rugby just isn’t one of them."

#5. Italy - Score: 4.4

They said: "We can see the hand-waving mamma mia, the margherita pizza throwing and the endless Italian rant now but come on, it’s not that you’re not passionate, patriotic and dedicated, it’s just that maybe not quite as much as the other patrons here. Oh and come on, rugby is nowhere near your main sport - you’re much better at football!"

#4. England - 6.15

They said: "They may have created the game, be the only side on the list to have won the World Cup and boast the largest stadium on the list but England's fans can only scrape a fourth place in our list"

Nigel Slater (no, not that one) from Facebook said: "Twickenham is a 'place of corporate knobs in chinos, blue shirt and tweed"

#3. Scotland - 7

They said: "Quite simply, no one matches the Celts for rugby and kicking off our top 3 are England's oldest enemies, the Scots. A spring visit up to the beautifully exquisite Edinburgh is always

#2. Ireland - 7.15

They said: "Guinnesses on tap at the home of the black stuff, the hum of Irish music whistling into the spring air from almost every pub and the world famous friendliness of the locals. There's nothing quite like a 'cultural' trip to Dublin on a Six Nations weekend."

#1. Wales - 9.05

They Said: "Topping our list of the best supporters with a mightily impressive score of over 9, are the Welsh. Quite simply, no one does it better. On a Six Nations matchday, eyes up and down the country from rural farmyard to remote rural pubs are fixed on the green, green grass of the national stadiums and the XV men wearing their country's red with pride.
