Rugby (World Cup, 6 Nations, Tri-Nations, Heineken Cup, Amlin Cup, etc...)

Next autumn, the 7th Rugby World Cup will take place in New Zealand.
This evening (europe time) the Six Nations Championship will start.
So I think it's the perfect time to start a Rugby discussion.

I'm gonna start it with a reminder of the major fixtures of the season.

02.04.11 : Wales - England, 2011 Six Nations Championship opening game
03.19.11 : 2011 Six Nations Championship closing games (Scotland - Italy, Ireland - England, France - Wales)
05.21.11 : Heineken Cup Final
05.28.11 : Premiership Final
05.29.11 : Celtic League Final
06.04.11 : Top 14 Final
07.09.11 : Super-15 Final
09.09.11 : New Zealand - Tonga, 2011 Rugby World Cup opening game

To those who don't know Rugby very well :
Six Nations Championship : Annual league between the 6 very best europe national teams : England, France, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy.
Heineken Cup : Sort of "Champion's League" equivalent, for Rugby.
Premiership : English league

Top 14 : French league
Super 15 : League made of the very best teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
