Rugby fans througout England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy are dusting off their national flags, donning their rugby shirts and clearing their throats in anticipation for some rousing national anthems! That’s right, the 2018 6 Nations tournament kicks off on 1st February, and this year will be particualrly exciting as it acts as a barometer for the long-awaited World Cup in Japan later in the autumn.

By now, Christmas is a distant memory, and our thoughts are turning to the blue skies, white sand and sunshine of a winter escape. Mine sure are!
