What makes a great Six Nations city? Is it all about the atmosphere on match day? The stadium itself? Or more about the pubs and the nightlife? In this special mini-series, Chris, Gareth and Tom bring you their ultimate guide to all four cities across the home nations as we begin our build-up to the Six Nations. First up, it’s the home of Welsh rugby, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. GRO makes a passionate case for why his city stands above the rest, and the guys share their favourite match-day memories and break down what makes Cardiff such a unique place to watch Six Nations rugby.
