Wales V Italy Hospitality – Corporate Hospitality Group

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), was established in 1881

, the same year that Wales played their first international against England. Wales' performances in the Home Nations Championship (now the Six Nations) continued to improve, experiencing their first 'golden age' between 1900 and 1911. They won eight Five Nations Championships. They played in the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987 where they achieved their best ever result of third. Following the professionalisation of rugby in 1995, Wales hosted the 1999 World Cup and, in 2005, won their first Six Nations Grand Slam which was followed by a second in 2008. Their 2005 Grand Slam is notable for being the first ever team to gain the accolade playing most matches away from home. Wales play in red jerseys embroidered with the Prince of Wales's feathers. Their current home ground is the Millennium Stadium, completed in 1999 to replace the National Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park. Ten former Welsh players have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, and two of the ten have been inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame. Rugby union is a popular sport in Italy. The sport is thought to have been introduced to the country in the early 1900s, with an organizational committee being established in 1911. The Super 10 competition is the main club rugby competition in the country, although clubs also participate in Europe's Heineken Cup. Italy competes annually in the Six Nations Championship, and has competed at the Rugby World Cup. Italy is classified as a tier one nation by the International Rugby Board. Italy finally joined the Six Nations Championship in 2000. They managed to get their second Six Nations win in 2003 30-22 against Wales. Italy was the only Six Nations country not to advance to the knock-out stage. Their third win came against Scotland in 2004. Most of the Italian national team play in club competitions in England and France, which, being at a higher standard to the Italian league allows the side to make consistent progression. However, this is not always seen through results and it will undoubtedly be a long time before they win their first Six Nations Championship. More and more Italians are coming to watch rugby union games and whereas before most of the fans at the Stadio Flaminio were away fans, now Italy has a good home crowd. In the 2006 Six Nations Championship the Italian team performed strongly against every team. In the 2007 Six Nations Championship, Italy started poorly, losing to France 3-39. However, Italy's performance improved considerably, and they held reigning World champions England to a 20-7 result at Twickenham, with the Italian's Alessandro Troncon being named man of the match. The 2008 Six Nations Championship saw the Italians again finish in last place, albeit by only a three point margin. They took part in close matches against Ireland, England and France respectively and managed a sole victory, defeating Scotland 23-20 in Rome in the last round of matches. 2010 will be a very tough year for the Azzuri's with three of their 6 Nations matches being away form home - they will certainly be targeting the England game on Valentine's Day and the Scotland game on the 27/02/2010.
