The 2019 Six Nations kicks off on February 1st and we can't wait.
We're looking forward to bringing you all the latest news over six weeks of pure, egg-shaped nonsense.
But in case you're not as excited as we are, here are RUCK's 25 reasons to look forward to the 2019 Six Nations.
1. Try Time!
The introduction of try-scoring bonus points has resulted in more tries!
2. It's often too close to call
3. Every game is live on TV
Get your gang together and organize yourselves now, as every game of this year’s Six Nations Championship will be broadcast live on terrestrial television.
4. National Anthems
This isn't football - the national anthems will be done properly, stirring our very souls with their proud and mighty verses.
5. Big Hits!
6. Drinking (a lot)
We're not trying to encourage you. We just know what you're like.
7. The Stadiums
8. Nigel Owens
While it may seem strange to be excited about a referee, Nigel Owens is undoubtedly the best in the world right now.
9. Eating a burger, guilt free
10. Insane Skills
Think footballers have all the skills? Think again.
11. A chance to settle old scores
12. Super Subs
13. Ridiculous Fancy Dress
What other sporting events would it be acceptable to wear something as stupid as this?
14. The Odd Fight/Scuffle
15. Proper Hard Men
16. The unashamedly biased commentary
Brian Moore, Eddie Buttler and Jonathan Davies are the men who spring to mind when we think of partisan rugby commentary, but they're all at it to be honest.
17. Maro Itoje
The England lock missed the Autumn internationals but will be back for the Six Nations!
18. Seriously, don't miss out on this tournament. You'll never forgive yourself.
19. The amazing trailers
20. It's mainly in the UK
That means rugby fever across the nation!
21. Songs
There’s no denying that Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is rousing stuff – and that’s before you get to the Celtic eye-moisteners of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and Flower of Scotland.
22. Armchair Punditry
As partisan as the professional pundits might be, we're all a million times worse. But it's all a laugh!
23. Stuart Hogg
The 2016 Six Nations Player of the tournament is one of the most exciting players to watch in the world!
24. It starts with Ireland v England in Dublin
What a game that will be!
25. It's the goddamn Six Nations!

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
