Ian Smith's Six Nations - Part 2

The eve of the first game of the 2019 Six Nations competition seems a fitting time to muse over the development of the competition as we know it today. In Part 2, we pick up where the competition convened after the end of WW2, and this was probably the true birth of the Six Nations as it has become today. It is too easy to imagine that all of this history was destined to get us to where we are today, as if today was the end point, but in reality, 2019 is just another year, and the game will move on, so that one day, 2019 will just be another year in history. Let's hope it is a memorable year for all the right reasons.
