Sport Quiz: The Six Nations

The Calcutta Cup is the oldest competition within the Six Nations. It was first contested in 1879 between England and Scotland. The Millennium Trophy was introduced in 1988, the Triple Crown in 1883, and the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy in 2007. Therefore, the Calcutta Cup has been played for the longest period of time among these options.

In 2003, England won the Grand Slam in the Six Nations tournament. This means that they won all of their matches against the other five teams in the tournament, which is a significant achievement. It is worth noting that this was the only time England has won the Grand Slam since the tournament moved to six teams, indicating the difficulty of achieving this feat.

In the context of the question, the term "Five Nations" refers to the rugby union teams of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and France. In 2000, Italy joined these five nations to form the Six Nations Championship, making it the first year when the "Five Nations" became "Six."

Wales face England in their final home game this season. This answer is correct because the question asks about the opponent for Wales in their last home game of the season, and England is the only option provided that fits this criteria. France, Scotland, and Italy are not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be the correct answer.

Brian O'Driscoll is the tournament's all-time leading try scorer because he has scored the most tries in the tournament compared to the other options given.

In 2008, Wales had the best defensive display in Six Nations history by conceding the fewest tries. The opposition managed to score only 2 tries against them throughout the tournament.

Ronan O'Gara is the tournament's all-time leading points scorer. This means that throughout the tournament's history, O'Gara has scored the most points compared to any other player. It is likely that he has achieved this through consistently scoring points in matches, such as through successful conversions, penalties, or drop goals. O'Gara's skill and accuracy in scoring points have made him the top scorer in the tournament.

Italy secured their only Six Nations win over France in 2011, winning by just one point.

Dan Lydiate was awarded the 2012 player of the tournament.

In the 2012 Grand Slam, Wales emerged as the overall winner. However, the team that scored the most tries during the tournament was Ireland. This means that Ireland was able to successfully cross the opposing team's goal line more frequently than any other team participating in the tournament.
