In 1996, a rugby competition was established to create a southern hemisphere equivalent to the Northern Hemisphere's Six Nations Championship. The Six Nations Rugby is phenomenally popular in Europe and has even developed a large fanbase in North America given the widely acclaimed Netflix Series, Six Nations: Full Contact.
The Ocean Race and SailGP are both prestigious sailing competitions, but they differ significantly in their format, boat type, and overall objectives. The Ocean Race is a fully crewed, round-the-world yacht race with stopovers in various ports, emphasizing endurance and offshore sailing. SailGP, on the other hand, is a high-speed, foiling catamaran racing league with short, intense races at one port for each event, focused on maximizing speed and technology. Think of SailGP like Formula 1. The Ocean Race is more like the Paris-Dakar rally.
