This year’s Six Nations tournament marks a quarter of a century since Italy joined the competition - turning five into six.
Originally called the Home Nations Championship, involving teams from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England, the rugby contest was first held in 1883.
In 1910 France joined, making it the Five Nations, but were then expelled in 1932 following accusations of professionalism (at that point it was a strictly amateur sport), and violent conduct.
The competition returned to the Home Nations format until 1947 when France were readmitted, once again making it the Five Nations.
Things remained the same for over 50 years, before Italy joined in 2000 and ushering in the era of the Six Nations.
