Vive le rugby!

I must admit I'm a girl who likes her rugby. It's all very exciting when new fixtures are announced and I can set about planning days out around games or even better, trips abroad!

Without further ado here's how the Six Nations draw is looking for 2011 courtesy of the IRFU. Yes, Ireland is bolded. Smile. Oh and the Scots have their tickets on sale already - how speedy!! I foresee good times ahead.
