As a French having grown up partly in south of France I used to never miss one single match of the (previously 5) now 6 nations tournament. Scotland and Ireland were the two teams which usualy played until the very end of the game with the most fighting spirit. I played Rugby in Toulouse (capital of the French rugby) for 4 years when I was in college. That was 6 years after the great and blond Jean-Pierre Rives left the "Stade Toulousain" and French national teams for retirement. When I was a little boy my hero was Gareth Edwards from the Welsh team and later Jean-Pierre Rives, two of the most famous rugby players of all times in my opinion. So many good memories! Unfortunatly since I moved to the USA 8 years ago the only way I can follow the 6 nations tournament or even the world cup is on the Internet.
