Historical Background
The Six Nations Championship as it is known today has only existed since the year 2000. Before that, it was known as the Five Nations Championship, as Italy was not part of the competition. The version with five nations dates back to 1910, however, this is not the oldest version of the championship.
In 1883, the Home Nations Championship was played between the four home nations of Great Britain. England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales competed in this rugby competition, until in 1888 when England was excluded due to their refusal to join the IRFB, or International Rugby Football Board. However, by 1890, England was back in the competition. France joined in 1910, changing the competition's name to reflect this addition.
Whilst the make-up of the event has remained relatively unchanged since 2000, there have been growing calls to include top tier teams Georgia and Romania to be included in a theoretical Eight Nations Championship.
Championship Format
Thousands of viewers from around the world catch the Six Nations Championship on tv during the short season. The competition's format is fairly simple, with each team playing every other team once. At the end of the 15 matches, the team with the highest number of points is the winner.
As of the 2016 event, the committee behind the Six Nations Championship decided to trial the bonus point system, common in other rugby union games. Teams get four points for a win, two for a draw and zero for a loss. A bonus point is awarded four or more tries in a match and another is awarded for losing with seven points or less. The Grand Slam winner, meaning the team which wins all five of its matches, gets an extra 3 bonus points.
Teams which end up at the bottom of the rankings get awarded the wooden spoon. Since 2000, when the competition became the Six Nations Championship, only Ireland and England had never been awarded this embarrassing accolade.
