6 Nations Rugby 2008

9 February-15 March 2008, Rugby 6 Nations 2008: various match dates

Pride and lusting to beat their opponents – what other deadly sins could rugby inspire? Kicking off 1 February 2008, teams have already some things to feel guilty about, such as England’s speedy loss of their great first half lead over Wales!

Saturday 8 March 2008 looks to be one of the highlights, when Scotland and England meet at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield. Jonny Wilkinson, England’s no. 10, is only 4 points shy of scoring 1,000 points, with lots to prove after his poor performance against Wales.

Paterson and Henderson may prove the boost Scotland need, returning to fitness. But Henderson may be a mixed blessing – as his injury came from headbutting a French opponent in Scotland’s thorough February defeat by France!

Saltires will be out in force as Scots flock to make home advantage count – so visitors’ accommodation may be tricky to find.
