Rugby can be considered as the national sport in Ireland. It is very famous and Irish love watch it on the TV in pubs with a beer.

One of the most famous competition is Six Nations Championship, which is an annual international rugby union competition. Six European teams (England, France, Ireland, Wales, Italy and Scotland), all of them can be a potential winner. In fact, England and Wales are the joint record winners with 26 titles each. 

Moreover, the Six Nations is the successor (since 2010) to the Home Nations champion ship (from 1883 to 1939) and then to Five Nations Championship because France joined the competition since 2010.

The competition began the 6th of February 2015 and finished the 21st of March 2015 where Irish rygbymen won.
