ENGLAND v WALES

2006 RBS 6 NATIONS
Twickenham, London

Saturday 4th February 2006. Kick-off 3.30pm

The undoubted highlight of the Northern Hemisphere rugby union season is the RBS Six Nations Championship. England host Wales at Twickenham in the first round of matches in the 2006 RBS 6 Nations Championship. England will be looking to start the tournament with a bang against the current 6 Nations Champions and Grand Slam holders. Last year in Cardiff Wales defeated England on the first weekend of the RBS 6 Nations Championship and will be looking to do the same again but England will be desperate to start with a victory. World Champions versus 6 Nations Champions is a match that you and your guests won't want to miss. It is sure to be one of the sporting events of the year.
