That will be the case in 2021 when all six teams have player names that catch the eye.
Whether it’s Redpath Townsend’s half-back pairing reminiscent of Scotland fans in the late 1990s. Or the younger brothers of emerging stars Paul Galbisi and Romain Ntamak, there are plenty of players to follow.

So before the tournament starts, let’s take a closer look. At some of the Under-20s’ family relationships in the 2021 Six Nations.
Scotland was the first team to name them, with Murray Redpath. And Christian Townsend forming a half-back combination that would make. Those who focused on rugby in the 1990s and early 2000s feel old.
Redpath, Cameron’s younger brother, made his Calcutta cup debut at Twickenham, Scotland. But unlike Cameron, Murray has following in the footsteps of his father Brian and became half a human being.
He can contact Townsend, the son of Scotland's current manager and the son of Lions and Scottish legend Gregor. It’s worth paying close attention to see if he already has a Tony in his skills!
There is another notable family connection in the team, Alex Clayton. The son of two-time Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson, who was drafted this week.
Scotland faces 2019 champions Ireland, with the son of another 1990s flyer. David Humphries, likely to play for Ricky Murphy’s side.
James Humphreys is now back at Ulster, the club where his father helped glory in Europe. In 1999, after joining Gloucester academy.
Humphreys could be joined by Nathan Doak, the son of David’s former Ulster team-mate Neil. Neil has had an excellent coaching career since then.
Host nation Wales begin their match against Italy at Cardiff Arms Park with several well-known names.
Dan John, who was part of the Wales squad last year, will try to build on that experience. His father Paul won the cap 10 times for Wales before starting coaching. Especially by leading Wales to the Rugby World Cup sevens title in 2009.
Ben has more coaching relationships with the son of former Cardiff Blues boss Justin Burnell. While Carwyn Tuipulotu, Scarlet’s back-rower, is the brother of Wales No.8 Taulupe Faletau.
