THE 2014 Six Nations kicks off on Saturday with Wales looking to create rugby history by becoming the first country to win three consecutive championship titles.

No nation has ever scooped a hat-trick of Six Nations successes and the Welsh will require all of their experience and expertise if they're to enter the record books. Although three of their five matches are home, Wales must face England at Twickenham and the English will be thirsting for revenge following their 30-3 humbling in Cardiff last year.
