Since the old 5 Nations was increased to 6 with the addition of Italy in 2000, Rome has become one of the tour's favourite haunts.
Indeed this must be the city that we get the most photos taken of us, from groups of oriental tourists, busloads of spaniards, Swiss Guards, Cardinals, priests, nuns and the friendly people of Rome itself. If we charged as much as the 'gladiators' we would pay for our trip every year!
