The 6 Nations Rugby Championship Tournament 2009
From February 7 until March 9, the rugby world will again focus on the annual 6 Nations Championship Tournament in which England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy and France will battle it out for the tournament win. Wales won the 2008 “Six Nations” with a Grand Slam. Before that France won in 2006 and 2007. This years favourite to win it is again Wales with odds around 9/4 (3.25), followed by France around 3/1 (4.00), Ireland 7/2 (4.50) and England around 4/1 (5.00).
Scotland and Italy are heavy underdogs with Scotland around 15/1 (16.00) and Italy coming in with odds above 100/1. That is no wonder, Scotland`s last win of the 6 Nations dates back to 1999, the last year before Italy joined the what was then the “5 Nations Championship”. Italy itself managed to win only a total of 6 games so far in 45 matches, last year was the first tournament with 2 wins for the Italian side.
