2000–01 European Nations Cup First Division
The 2001 European Nations Cup was the second annual competition for tier 2 and 3 European rugby union nations. The competition was originally planned to continue on an annual basis like the Six Nations but at the end of the season it was decided to change to a two-year cycle allowing home and away games.

gollark: You don't need *that*, just some method of projecting onto glasses in decent resolution without horrible focus problems, probably some way to blot out background too, and some kind of gesture control system (specialized gloves or radar maybe).
gollark: I imagine that phones will be replaced by AR glasses or something before an iPhone 47 ever happens, but who knows. Consumer AR stuff never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: It's entirely wireless.
gollark: The iPhone 47 is actually just a solid cuboid of aluminium with 26 cameras on it.
gollark: Why would you want a dystopian future? They're pretty much bad by definition.
