I got the idea of this when Wales won the 6 nations (rugby) on Saturday 16th, in fact they won the grand slam. Thought it might be worth sharing.
Six Nations
As luck would have it on this day in 24 March 1956 Wales beats France, 5-3 at the National Stadium, Cardiff to clinch their 13th Five Nations Rugby Championship. On the same day 1975 Muhammad Ali TKOs Chuck Wepner in 15 for heavyweight boxing title,
With the Rugby World cup starting in Japan on September 20 (Japan Vs Russia) and the on going European championship already starting with England opening very well 5-0 against the Czech Republic and France's 4-1 win over Moldova, there should be plenty to talk about.
