Could one of you perhaps help me out on a rugby question?

I understand that the 6 nations is starting up this weekend, and there's two terms I don't quite get.

Grand slam - that's where one team runs the table in the tourney right?

Triple Crown - I'm entirely at a loss.

Any light anyone could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Grand Slam - when one team wins all five matches against the others.

Triple Cown - can only be won by England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales when one of those beats the trhee others.

Thanks Donut! I've just picked up watching the sport, and I'm trying to get up to speed on the terminology.

The answer to your question is no, this is not a clone a clone is an exact copy. The fact that one is named ...Australian sports thread and the other ...English sports thread would make these two different .The reason I started this thread was for a bit of fun as Aleia & Davros were waxing lyrical about Aussie victories left right and center. If you read the first post you will see this [img]smile.gif[/img] .If it is against the rules then i apologise to Aleia and Davros but I'm sure they saw the funny side ..especially after the lucky Aussie Darts win.
