As a rule, the 6 Nations Tournament kicks off in February and runs through to the end of March. Even so, it is not uncommon for the match dates of the final games (Round 5) to stretch into April.<\/p>\n
So, here’s how it works<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The annual battle for the rugby union 6 Nations International Tournament takes place over seven weekends. The unique playing format of the contest integrates six teams, namely England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, and Italy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n For fairness, the RFU regulations of the Six Nations configuration alternate the extra advantage of playing home matches as a biennial system (occurring every two years).<\/p>\n Each team plays against the other 5 contenders ONCE only throughout a total of 15 matches per championship.<\/p>\n Four (4) points will be awarded for every win and two (2) points goes to both teams if the result is a draw. The triumphant team with the most rugby union points after all the games finish will win the crown of Rugby Union Six Nations Champions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
