It is 20 years since Italy joined the Guinness Six Nations, sparking two decades of unforgettable Championship moments.

And to celebrate such an important birthday, several Guinness Six Nations legends have joined forces with TISSOT to launch the TISSOT Test of Time campaign.

Picking their favourite ever Championship moments, the likes of Serge Betsen, Rory Best, John Barclay and Martin Castrogiovanni have delved deep into the archives to find the games that have stood the ‘Test of Time’.

But we start with former England prop Alex Corbisiero, who won the Championship with England in 2011.

He was on the field for his Test of Time moment, although he won’t remember it fondly, as he watched Wales score a dramatic try to beat England at Twickenham.

“For me, it has to be Scott Williams ripping the ball from Courtney Lawes’ grasp and then going the other way to score the crucial try as Wales beat England at Twickenham in 2012,”he said.

“That ended up deciding the Championship as England won their other four games but Wales took the Grand Slam. Even though it was against England and I was playing, it was just one of those moments that stays with you.”

Remember to use Tissot #TopMoment across social each match weekend for your chance to win a watch.
