If France only win by 30 I'll be oddly happy. This has a 90's vintage hammering feel.

We can only hope that Italy don't turn over a Hogg and Russell depleted Scots side or we're still going to be getting the wooden spoon most likely.

I think our bonus point win.over the French should cover that one off.

I thought you had to lose all of the games to get the wooden spoon, not just finish bottom (although finishing bottom would not be a happy thought).

"In rugby union's Six Nations Championship, the wooden spoon is a metaphorical award won by the team finishing in last place, or alternatively by a team that loses all its games" - according to wikipedia but I don't know if that's accurate.

I think of it as meaning a total whitewash. Like the 'Triple Frown' we won this year. :(

Well, whatever the definition, we've avoided that at least!

Gutting for Italy, but we can chill a little.

Not too shabby. Took a punt on the France game being lower-scoring than predicted, but the margin's still close. :-)
