Watch a Battle of Epic Proportions


Are you getting a little tired of the same old boring holiday year in and year out? If you want to indulge in something that is a bit more exciting, why not book one of the 6 Nations packages? Attending premier sporting tournaments makes any holiday that bit more exciting and there are few rugby events more prestigious than the 6 Nations Championship. You will get the opportunity to watch each of the following – England, France, Scotland, Ireland, Italy and Wales – fight each other for the right to be crowned the European Rugby Champions. 

Choosing the ideal package will not be hard – there is any number to choose from. All you have to do is plug the search term 6 Nations packages into the computer and you will be given a list of alternatives. It may be more difficult to decide which games you want to watch – each country plays the other and alternates between home and away games every year. This might mean that 6 Nations packages could see you jetting all over Europe and the British Isles. The whole tournament runs over the course of a few weeks and, if this is more time than you have available, you will have to choose to be more selective when it comes to your 6 Nations packages. 

Maybe you want to follow your favourite team in order to lend them support or maybe you would prefer to be involved in one of the mini-tournaments held within the championship itself. Go see the pitched battle between England and Scotland for the Calcutta Cup; the desperate fight between Ireland and England for the Millennium Cup; the heated exchange between Italy and France for the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy or the tussle for the Centenary Quaich between Ireland and Scotland. When it comes to choices for your 6 Nations packages, you are not going to run out of options in a hurry. 

When it comes to 6 Nations packages there are a lot of different options to choose from. You could attend the tournament for two years running and have a completely different holiday both times. The various teams take turns in hosting the games and so you could be in France this year and Italy the next. 

The rules are easy to understand – you need not set up any kind of roster to determine quarter and semi-finals, etc. Every team plays once against each other team and points are awarded according to the outcome of each match. No bonus points are awarded and so it easy to determine the overall winner – the loser gets no points; if the game is drawn, each team is awarded one point and winning teams are awarded two points. 

Whichever of the games you go to see, the 6 Nations Championship has its own particular flavour and atmosphere that makes the whole experience fun. To top it all off, you will get to see some really good rugby. With the best in Europe playing, you will find that the rugby will be top class.
