The 2019 Six Nations is nearly here, but how much do you know about the history of the competition?
Since 1883, countries from around Europe have been competing to be crowned rugby's best in the northern hemisphere.
Initially a competition between the four home nations - England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - four became five in 1947 with France's inclusion, and in 2000 five became six as Italy joined.
England travel to defending champions Ireland first up this year, with Wales visiting France on Friday night to kick the 2019 tournament off, and Scotland hosting Italy on Saturday.
Some of the most exciting rugby moments in history have been played out in this tournament from across London, Dublin, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Paris and Rome, but how much do you know about it?
