    There was talk of them doing a big deal a couple of seasons ago where England v France would always be the last game of the championship...thankfully that is a dead duck these days!

    It seems to be England that always get the last game - they have definitely had it the last three years maybe even four years:

    2007 - Wales v England
    2006 - England v Ireland
    2005 - England v Scotland
    2004 - France v England (I think)

    Nice that all the Ireland games are on a Saturday next season.
