  • Who will win between Italy and England?

    Ahead of Sunday’s Six Nations showdown in Rome, Fabrizio D’Amico of Arabian Knights and Ben Rothwell of Dubai Waps join us to highlight why their respective teams have the best chance of winning this contest.

    To gather an insight into the minds of the two sets of fans we asked UAE club rugby players from the respective countries to share with us their predictions and players to watch out for.

    Do you agree or have they missed the mark? Use #360Fans to share with us your thoughts.
