Well Wales played really well against Scotland..... NOT :PDT_Xtremez_21:
I think everyone today has been pretty poor. Good Ireland France game tomorrow I hope.
Erm there's only 2 teams who can win the wooden spoon mate, Wales and Italy, every other team has won a game!

I just voted for Wales on principle....I'll never forget two years ago in the pub in South Wales when they beat England...In my face was an understatement...
I voted for Italy for a couple of reasons. I just cannot see Wales rolling over and accepting the wooden spoon, they'll find that extra spark from somewhere. Italy have one big game a season and I reckon today was it, if it wasn't for some great defensive work they would've turned England over today, noone could've complained if they did. Unfortunatley for them thats it I reckon, they salvaged a bit of pride after getting humped by France and from here on in it's going downhill for them.
Shame really 'cos if Wales got the wooden spoon I wouldn't give Tashy Man and his bessie S2 any grief..................honest.

Voted for Italy but after today they wouldn't deserve it....England as current WORLD champions were shocking......I'll even say Wales were as bad against Scotland but thats our really bad game done now.........i can see England getting worse.
I'll go for Ireland as champs this year.
WGAF you know you shouldn't mention me and ** as i cant retaliate for fear of being restricted AGAIN or maybe even banned :-((
Crack on.............:PDT_Xtremez_09:
mad moriarty, ROCKME and SirSaltyHelmet are either deluded, drunk or on drugs................
There is NO WAY England can get the wooden spoon. I know why SSH voted, because he's a Welsh Nationalist and as we speak he's out with the Sons Owain Glyndwr burning down holiday cottages in Wales....:PDT_Xtremez_14:
but the other two??? :PDT_Xtremez_05:

They can still finish bottom. Wooden spoon goes to the team finishing bottom. You can win a game and still get the spoon

No you can't, you have to loose all games in the tournament to get the wooden spoon.

Nope, that is known as a whitewash... Let me show you
From Wikipedia
Rugby Union
How the Cambridge wooden spoon idea came to be used in rugby union (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union) is not exactly known, but in the early years of the Six Nations Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Nations_Championship) there were many Cambridge graduates playing, so they may have attempted to preserve the concept after the last one was awarded in 1909. It is certain, in any case, that the tradition first arose in Cambridge and rugby adopted and perpetuated the tradition.
Nowadays the Wooden Spoon is awarded to any team who finishes at the bottom of the table in the RBS 6 Nations held every year between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. No physical wooden spoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_spoon) exists or has ever existed in the case of rugby, however.
Such is the stigma of the award that the 'winners' will sometimes claim that the Wooden Spoon should only be held by those who win no games at all, but this achievement is properly known as a whitewash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash_%28sport%29).
And William Hill says

fair play SSH, for many years I've believed different.

Scotland have to play France in Paris, Wales have to play England in Cardiff. Can't see Scotland winning and the other game could go either way. Scotland could quite easily be the wooden spoon champs!

Points difference may have something to do with who gets the spoon. Scotland will propably get their advandage wiped out in Paris, however Wales have to win full stop to avoid it!:PDT_Xtremez_31:

What do you think ::/:
What a sh1te ref. He should be banned from international competitions. That Italian no7 Bergawanka should have been sinned binned at the VERY least and Troncon for the stamping incident. Apart from that an exciting game with a beautiful try by our Hooker :PDT_Xtremez_14:

You'll be crying inyour beer come saturday, if you were up for a grand slam I would put money on a Welsh win. Even if they lose, they will do just enough to make sure England don't win the championship ::P:
France should win the championship on points as they probably have the best chance for scoring points compared to Ireland and England. Italy after a terrible first game have made life difficult for all the teams to play. The only downside they have is that they do give a lot of penalties away. If Engalnd can produce a good performance like they did against France then they should Edge Wales, but not by the forty points or so they need to have a chance of the Championship. France should beat Scotland as I feel the Scots will feel deflated after saturday and the French will want show that this weekend was a one off if they are to maintain thier position as contenders for the world cup.
