Six Nations 2012 – Schedules, Rosters and more!

The annual Six Nations Tournament is here again! Last year, England ripped through the competition and easily defeated Ireland by 31 points in the Grand Slam Final. England has won the title twelve times out of sixteen tournaments, so one would think they would repeat!
