This Saturday, the 2024 Rugby Six Nations tournament kicks off, and we are here to help you find the perfect spot to catch the action.

The Guinness Six Nations Rugby Championships, featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales, was founded in 1882 and is is an annual international men's rugby union competition beloved by players, fans, and Guinness drinkers alike.

Much to the delight of many Rutland-based fans, the squad contains a number of Leicester Tigers players, including Ollie Chessum, Dan Cole, Joe Heyes, and Freddie Steward.
