A Welsh friend, Twitter & a Pizza: JOE’s essential check-list for a Six Nations weekend

JOE is ready, Paulie is ready and Robbie is ready. But are you ready for this weekend's Six Nations?

What's that? You don't have everything you need to make the most of a rugby weekend? Don't worry, with the help of the kind folks at Centra, JOE is going to help you have the perfect Six Nations weekend. Here's what you'll need. Mates, preferably ones from Wales The only thing better than watching your team win an important game is watching them win an important game and being able to rub it in your friend's face. He told you before the game that Leigh Halfpenny was a better full-back than Rob Kearney. You told him he was wrong and now you have proof. Enjoy. A comfy chair Call dibs on the comfiest chair in the house. After all, you want Warren Gatland to be the only pain in the back you've to deal with this weekend. Food You don't want to be thinking of your tummy when Johnny Sexton is kicking over his third conversion, do you? Head down to your local Centra, grab a few easy items. Watch Robbie Henshaw flatten Jamie Roberts. Eat. Colours  We don't care if your jersey is five sizes too large and is originally from 1993, there is no excuse for not wearing your side's colours. If you don't, what will you kiss when we score our fourth try? Drink There's nothing quite like cracking open a bottle of beer after watching your side romp home to victory. Centra are currently offering 4 beers for €10 on a range of craft beers. Pretty sweet if you ask us. Social Media  The instant disgust when the ref makes a bad decision or the happy collective when something wonderful happens; following the game on social media really does add to the experience. So there you have it, your check-list for the perfect rugby weekend. Let's hope we get an Irish win to top it all off!
