Going to a Six Nations for some is the be all and end all. Whether a supporter of England or Wales, a rugby fan has a number of different pieces of related clothing.

Take for example the humble shirt. For many, the shirt is much more than just a piece of material. It is a symbol not to mention an identity of a supporter.

However, thanks to the globalization of sport, fans can have the ability to choose from a wealth of novelty items.

These have burst onto the market in the last decade which has paid dividends for many. But what are some of worst pieces of Six Nations merchandise?

1. Welsh Gnome

Garden gnomes seem to be all the rage. Wales have two available, both priced at £19.99

2. England Beef Biltong – Peri Peri

This might be tasty, but we’re baffled. Don’t worry, there are three different flavours. Get your orders in now, ha-ha.

3. England Golf Glove

The ball marker isn't too bad, but the glove is too far...

4. Welsh Rugby Chocolate

When you can pick up chocolate for cheap these days, it's hard to think why you'd pay £3.99 for Welsh Rugby chocolate.

5. England Ice Cube Tray

Not sure how effective this would be. Now only £3 though!

With a steep price of £9.99, this item has been seen in the official Wales shop. But paying such a high price for a bit of soap may not be all that it seems despite it featuring the official club crest on the packet.

7. Woman's Bawbags

Cotton hipster briefs in the Official Scottish Rugby tartan with navy 'Bawbags' elastic waistband for women. I'm sure they'll love them. Reasonably priced at £8.50 to be fair.

8. England Musical bottle opener

A lot of clubs sell bottle openers, but only England have added a tune. Feel bad that I want one.

9. WRU Ice scraper

Got a new driver in the family? Why not get them an ice scraper emblazoned with the a Wales logo?

While we can’t deny the importance of keeping an ice scraper in one’s car at all times, nor can we stress enough the dangers of an icy car, we’re just wondering who actually took the time to think of marketing ice scrapers with the WRU logo on.
