worth the trip, especially if there just magically happens to be a game rugby going on at Murrayfield on the same weekend."
Former Premiership winger Namani Nadolo has announced his retirement from rugby at the end of the current season.
He wrote on Instagram: "2023 will be the year I call time on my "Rugby Career". When I signed my first professional contract in 2008 I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would go on to experience this incredible journey.
"I've had a lot of highs and a lot of lows during my time. I've travelled the world from Japan, France, UK, and New Zealand.
"Moving home to Australia with my young family and an my aging legs I knew it was time to consider whats best for me and my future. It's the question we all face as professional athletes, "what's next"
As one chapter in my life comes to an end another begins.
"I wish to thank the NSW Waratahs for bringing me home, it was always my dream to retire on home soil in front of my friends and family.
"For now the season must go on, and I look forward to finishing this season with my amazing teammates. Thank you to everyone for all the support over the years, you are the reason why we do what we do, God Bless."

Or check out the brief ranking below:

#6. France - 4.3

" The French also score below-average rating for both 
Away Support and Home Stadium Atmosphere, the latter not helped by the fact you need a telescope (never mind a pair of binoculars) to see the pitch (never mind the action) from some of the seats at the Stade de France."
1846910

#5. Italy - 4.4

They Said: "Like the French, they are let down by Away Support and, most impactfully, Home Stadium Atmosphere, which can often suffer from one-sided, processional performances on the pitch, although thankfully, these are becoming rarer occasions."
1845169

#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" 
2267481

#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 
1853202

#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."
1973041 1

#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. "
