The 2009 Six Nations tournament gets underway in February with Wales looking to defend their crown.
On top of the winning the Six Nations outright, there are a series of additional accolades that can be won over the course of the competition. Teams winning all of their matches also collect the Grand Slam alongside the Six Nations trophy. Over the course of the 106 tournaments, 33 have been won by teams doing the Grand Slam. Wales are the most recent recipients of this having won a perfect five out of five in 2005.
The Triple Crown is awarded to any of the home nations which wins all three encounters against the other teams from the United Kingdom. Any home nation winning the Grand Slam automatically qualifies for the Triple Crown too. Ireland beat all their fellow home nations again last year to claim the title and you have to go back to 2001 since the Triple Crown was last not achieved.
The winners of the game between England and Scotland are awarded the Calcutta Cup, which has been competed for annually since 1880. England currently hold the famous old trophy having defeated England 42-20 at Twickenham last year.
The only Six Nations honour that teams try to avoid is the Wooden Spoon, awarded to the side that finished with the worst record in the competition. Italy have won this dubious prize in five of the eight years since they joined the Six Nations tournament, but Scotland claimed the unwanted cronw in 2007.
