Six Nations 2004

 The
oldest and greatest rugby tournament is back. With the World cup in the Twickers trophy cabinet, it is not as if anybody will need any more
reason than usual to stop England from retaining they're Grand Slam.
For Wales it is a chance to build on last November's World cup heroics and to prove such displays were simply not another one of the false dawn's we have become accustomed to over the years. Steve Hansen will undoubtedly be wanting to go out on a high before his return to New Zealand, however it will take something special for the Kiwi and his squad to bridge the gap between the second division of the championship (Italy and Scotland) and the first (England, France and Ireland). A first win on the opening weekend for seven years, against Scotland in Cardiff is a must. Stories: Last updated 07/02/04
