Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first game of the Six Nations 2007 Championship was Italy v France. Where was this game played?

Answer: Stadio Flaminio, Rome

Stadio Flaminio is a charming stadium in Rome, with a capacity of under 25,000. Compare this with the capacity of the largest stadium in the 2007 Championship at a mammoth 82,500.

2. During the first match of the 2007 Six Nations Championship, Italy scored a try against France.

Answer: False

France scored five tries to Italy's single penalty by Pez.

3. Sebastian Chabal scored two tries in France's first match in the Six Nations 2007 and was named man of the match. Which English club was he playing Number 8 for at the time?

Answer: Sale

Most of the Italian team do not play club rugby in their own country, but play for English and French clubs. Italy started their Six Nations career with a victory at home against Scotland in 1998.

4. The coaches of Italy and France for the Six Nations 2007 came from the same country. Which one?

Answer: France

International Rugby coaches tend to move around. Italy have been coached by New Zealander John Kirwan, but for the Six Nations 2007 they were coached by former French coach Pierre Berbizier, while his counterpart, Bernard Laporte, coached France.

5. If one team beats the other five in the Six Nations championship, it is referred to as the Grand ____?

Answer: Slam

Since the Five Nations became Six in 1998, it has been won 3 times by France, once by England and last by Wales in 2005.

Answer: Jonny Wilkinson

Jonny Wilkinson, who kicked the drop goal to win the World Cup in 2003, has been very unfortunate with injuries, and had only had 40 minutes Rugby before this game.

7. Since 1876, England and Scotland's match is not only part of the Six Nations but also for a trophy. What is the name of this trophy, which is the oldest in International Rugby?

Answer: Calcutta Cup

The cup is made from melted down Indian Rupees and is keenly contested!

8. Despite being beaten 42-20 by England in the 2007 Six Nations, Scotland scored two tries.

Answer: True

By Simon Taylor and Rob Dewey.

9. It is generally accepted that the try awarded to Jonny Wilkinson during the Six Nation's match against Scotland in 2007 was not, in fact, a try. What was the nationality of the video referee?

Answer: Irish

The video appeared to show to everyone but Mr Courtney that Jonny was in touch. But the referee's decision is always final.

10. At one point in Scotland's defeat by England in the 2007 Six Nations (20-42) Scotland were leading 10-6.

Answer: True

A penalty and Simon Taylor's converted try put Scotland 10-6 ahead before Jason Robinson's try started the rout.

11. The Wales against Ireland match in Six Nations 2007 was played in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. What was the name of the iconic stadium that stood on the same spot?

Answer: Cardiff Arms Park

12. Wales scored a try against Ireland in the 2007 Six Nations.

Answer: False

Ireland scored three tries to none by Wales; all the Welsh points came from the boot.

13. 'Pin-Up Boy' of the Welsh Grand Slam in 2005, courting Charlotte Church ('Voice of an Angel'), which Welsh player was not even on the bench for the Wales v Ireland match in 2007?

Answer: Gavin Henson

Wales' coach Gareth Jenkins has been widely quoted as feeling that Ospreys' player Henson is 'simply not playing well enough' to be in the side. All the wrong answers are the legendary 'Pontypool Front Row', who could not be described as 'Pin-Up boys' by any stretch of the imagination.

14. Why was Welsh captain Gareth Thomas not playing in the Wales-Ireland match in the 2007 Six Nations?

Answer: Suspended

Gareth Thomas was suspended for four weeks following an argument with Ulster fans in Toulouse.
