Rugby Six Nations Fixture Dates for 2010

Rugger fans will be eagerly anticipating the 2010 Six Nations rugby tournament - and it’s not far away!  

The first match is scheduled between Ireland and Italy at Croke Park on February 6, 2010.  Fans with tickets to travel to the away games in Paris and Rome should already be thinking of ways to make the best use of their time in these famous European cities. 

The Italy v England match in Rome on February 14 (in case you hadn’t noticed) falls on Valentine’s Day!  What better way to appease the rugby widows usually left at home than to take them along for the weekend.  Ireland meets France in Paris on Saturday, February 13, so a long, romantic Valentine’s weekend away could keep you from being kicked into touch or ending up in the sin bin!

Just a few reminders while you’re busy planning your trip: Check to make sure you have the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and that it has not expired - but don’t risk a penalty by using this as a substitute for proper Travel Insurance!  Read up on the latest travel information and advice for France and Italy by following the links on the relevant pages for the Foreign Office (FCO) ‘Know Before You Go’ campaign.

If you plan to take the car, don’t forget to renew your UK and European Car Breakdown Cover (click here for a quote).  All you’ll need to make the weekend perfect is a great win for your team, some champagne and flowers, and you’ll be sure to score the perfect try!  For more information visit the 6 Nations official website at:  rbs6nations.com.
