After a fairly disappointing Six Nations campaign in 2008 Ireland will be looking for a vast improvement this year. With a new management team in place every player will be looking to impress. England on the other hand will be full of confidence after a convincing win against Ireland in last year’s fixture at Twickenham. Whatever the outcome is in this sought after fixture one thing is for sure Croke Park will be no place for the faint hearted.

Croke Park
Croke Park also played host to the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies of the Special Olympics World Summer Games in 2003, the first time these events were held outside the United States. Billboard Magazine recently voted Croke Park as the worlds top rock venue.The stadium is an inspirational venue not only for GAA supporters and players, but for sports fans from Ireland and abroad, for event planners and conference delegates, for historians, architects and engineers.
It is a theatre of dreams and a modern piece of history right in the heart of Dublin and in the hearts of all Ireland.Home to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Croke Park has been at the heart of Irish sporting life for over a hundred years.Steeped in history, this landmark arena is the largest stadium venue in Ireland. Following its recent redevelopment, Croke Park now has capacity for 82,300 people and is the fourth largest stadium in Europe. 1.6 million people visited Croke Park in 2005 and this is expected to increase to over 2 million in 2006.
