Six Nations Tickets Continued
The Six Nations , known before 2000 as the Five Nations
Championship, is an annual international rugby union competition held between six European
sides; England, France (since 1910), Ireland, Italy (since 2000), Scotland and Wales. The winner
of the Six Nations Championship is often seen as being the unofficial European
Champions.
The Five Nations Championship, with its predecessor, the Home Championship, was the premier
international rugby union tournament in the Northern hemisphere. The Six Nations
Championship has also in the past been known as 'The International Championship'.
The Six Nations Championship Trophy was originally conceived by the Earl of Westmorland, and made its first appearance at the 1993 championship to the winners, France. It is a a sterling silver trophy, designed by James Brent-Ward and made by a team of eight silversmiths from the London firm William Comyns, with a value of £55,000. Although originally silver on the inside, the trophy became so corroded through celebratory champagne fillings that it is now gold plated. It has 15 side panels representing the 15 members of the team and with three handles to represent the three officials. The cup has a capacity of 3.75 litres - sufficient for five bottles of champagne. Within the mahogany base is a concealed drawer which contains six alternate finials, each a silver replica of one of the team emblems, which can be screwed on the detachable lid.
