Some very special moments.

The Six Nations is still several months away, but that doesn’t stop us from looking back at some of the greatest moments the tournament has ever produced.

The Telegraph recently compiled a list of the Top 50 memorable moments, and we’ve decided to take a close look at the Top 5.

Let us know if you think of any moments that you reckon should have made the cut.

5. Italy’s perfect start.

Italy v Scotland, 2000

The Azzuri made a dream debut back in 2000, defeating Scotland 34-20 in their first ever Six Nations game. What was even more significant however was the fact that they made the front page of the Gazzetta dello Sport the following day, the first time rugby ever knocked off football.

4. O’Gara’s immortal Grand Slam winning drop-goal.

Wales v Ireland 2009

To this day, the greatest moment in Irish Rugby. Ireland had not won a Grand Slam since 1948, but made history in 2009 thanks to the boot of Ronan O’Gara. A 78th minute drop-goal brought Ireland a famous win, in spectacular fashion as they overcame Wales 17-15 at the Millennium Stadium.

3. Croke Park welcomes England.

Ireland vs England, 2007

One of the most spine-tingling moments in the history of sport. From John Hayes’ tears, to Croke Park standing for God Save the Queen, Ireland’s clash with England in 2007 was memorable for so many reasons. The respect shown for the English national anthem, despite the political issues will forever be remembered. A defining moment.

2. Brian O’Driscoll announces himself to the world.

France v Ireland, 2000

A memorable day once again for many reasons. Ireland secured their first win in France for 28 years, while a certain 21 year-old Brian O’Driscoll set the game alight with a stunning hat-trick. The day O’Driscoll truly announced himself to the world.

1. Martin Johnson takes on Ireland.

Ireland v England, 2003

Martin Johnson led his time out to the wrong side for the anthems and Ireland were not happy. President Mary McAlleese ended up walking on the pitch, and had to get her shoes dirty. The mind-games seemed to work as England went to to win the Grand Slam that day.
