The sport for gentleman? Rugby has over the years become one of the most popular sports not just in Europe but worldwide, and Italy is slowly but surely becoming more and more recognised as a nation to watch out for. Founded in 1928 the Federation of Italian Rugby records the very first rugby match in Italy as being in 1910 with â€˜Racing Club Parigiâ€™ against â€˜Srvette di Ginevraâ€™ in Turin (the far north of Italy), shortly after in 1911 Italy itself played in their very first match with the Milanese team US Milanese against the French club Il Voiron. Since the beginning of the 19th Century Italy has made steady progress until 1998 when the real breakthrough came and they were accepted into what was then the 5 nations transformng officially into the 6 nations in 2000. The beginning of Italyâ€™s 6 nations appearances got off to a great start with the victory over Scotland, a challenging team, but unfortunately it was to be their only victory that year. Last year in 2006 was still not the great Italy that everyone was hoping for and although they closed their difference with Ireland from a loss in 2005 of 28 â€“ 1 to their loss in 2006 26 â€“ 16!, the great victories that the Italian fans hoped for unfortunately did not materialiseâ€¦however 2007 is a new year and never to be under estimated the â€˜Azzurriâ€™ hope for better results, so why not make the worthwhile trip to Rome for an unforgettable weekend.
