"Unbalanced" - Rugby Fans Are Remembering 2012 Banned Six Nations TV Advert

worth the trip, especially if there just magically happens to be a game rugby going on at Murrayfield on the same weekend."

The BBC Sport advert sees fans of the home nations all cheering for England, with the reveal being "The Six Nations, it's not about who you want to win... it's about who you want to lose."

BBC Sport decided to pull the advert ahead of the 2012 competition, over fears that it was anti-English.

However, the rugby community enjoyed the joke in good spirits, and for years have watched the video as an annual Six Nations tradition.

Many rugby fans believe that this is one of the best adverts that had been made for the Six Nations.

The video celebrates the home nations and their diverse backgrounds, with a grass roots focus that makes it relatable for fans of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

They Said: " The French also score below-average rating for both Away Support and Home Stadium Atmosphere, the latter not helped by the fact you need a telescope (never mind a pair of binoculars) to see the pitch (never mind the action) from some of the seats at the Stade de France."

They Said: "Like the French, they are let down by Away Support and, most impactfully, Home Stadium Atmosphere, which can often suffer from one-sided, processional performances on the pitch, although thankfully, these are becoming rarer occasions."

They said: "They may have created the game, be the only side on the list to have won the World Cup and boast the largest stadium on the list but England's fans can only scrape a fourth place in our list"

Nigel Slater (no, not that one) from Facebook said: "Twickenham is a 'place of corporate knobs in chinos, blue shirt and tweed" 

They said: "Quite simply, no one matches the Celts for rugby and kicking off our top 3 are England's oldest enemies, the Scots. A spring visit up to the beautifully exquisite Edinburgh is always 

They said: "Guinnesses on tap at the home of the black stuff, the hum of Irish music whistling into the spring air from almost every pub and the world famous friendliness of the locals. There's nothing quite like a 'cultural' trip to Dublin on a Six Nations weekend."

They Said: "Topping our list of the best supporters with a mightily impressive score of over 9, are the Welsh. Quite simply, no one does it better. On a Six Nations matchday, eyes up and down the country from rural farmyard to remote rural pubs are fixed on the green, green grass of the national stadiums and the XV men wearing their country's red with pride. "

This historic win, the team's first Grand Slam in 13 years under Eddie Jones' leadership, marked a significant milestone.

Now, lace up your virtual boots and see if you can recall the rest of the XV from the final match of the Six Nations.
