Rugby league football is a full-contact team sport played with a spheroid-shaped ball by two teams of thirteen on a rectangular grass field. Rugby league is one of the two major codes of rugby football, the other being rugby union. The league code is most prominent in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and France, where the sport is played professionally. Rugby league is also immensely popular in Papua New Guinea where it is considered the national sport and many national players figure prominently in the Australian Rugby League. The game is played to a lesser extent in several other countries, such as Russia, the United States and Lebanon.
The Six Nation championship is the oldest and most respected rugby tournament in the world. Previously being the International Championship featuring England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the competition has doubled up to the present moment.
On 10 February Stadio Flaminio is hosting a game within the framework of the Six Nations rugby union international. Italy will try to win a victory over France. Don't miss the thrilling sporting event!
