00:00The Principality is an iconic Welsh landmark, and we've all seen plenty of memorable sporting
00:06moments take place there. Less so in recent years, but there could be cause for some speck
00:11of belief as it has been officially confirmed that the stadium roof will be closed for the
00:15next two years of Six Nations matches.
00:18It's always a debate over closing the roof, as it used to be the case that both teams
00:22have to agree to it, which away teams would usually decline as it seemed to benefit the
00:26hosts with the increased noise and atmosphere. Now the rule changed from the Six Nations
00:31that it is up to the home team who have confirmed it will be closed for the next two seasons.
00:38With such poor performances on the pitch in recent years, fans will be hoping that the
00:42closed roof could be at least something that could boost the players, and there will be
00:45at least a few home wins over the next few years.
00:49This year Wales host two home Six Nations matches against Ireland and England, with
00:54both games officially sold out. So, fingers crossed.
