Commit these handy images to memory and impress your mates in the pub/ground/front-room this weekend

The latest edition of In Touch magazine is out now and includes, amongst other quality items, this comprehensive infographic that covers Ireland's participation, since the turn of the century, in the Northern Hemisphere's biggest rugby shindig. Brian O'Driscoll [tries and appearances] and Ronan O'Gara [points] dominate the individual lists. Ireland's biggest Six Nations win was a 60-13 romp over Italy, in 2000, while our eight-try performance against the same opposition, in 2007, is the most times the men in green have crossed the whitewash. If you're looking for more of a general overview of the tournament since 2000, when Italy were told to wipe their feet and come in, then Daniel Damien's infographic [below - for Betting Expert] is perfect. One of the most interesting stats, following 15 previous seasons of fiercely contested matches, is how close France (50), England (51) and Ireland (49) are in terms of victories. Wales have won 41 of their 75 matches [eight fewer than Ireland] yet have won four championships, including three Grand Slams) to Ireland's two, which includes the 2009 Grand Slam.
