....by which I mean me.

Can someone explain, very simply, why Scotland are still to play France tonight, if Wales are champions?

[veggiechicken]

'Cos lots of people have bought tickets for it

[julesapple]

There, see? I knew there had to be a simple explanation.....

[cardiffsteve]

Unfortunately for Scotland and France its gong to be a bit of an anti climax.

[Rocketron]

Yes it is.

[Glutton4...]

The simple explanation, Jules, is that all the teams have to play all the other teams. Scotland and France still have to play their match, even though the overall winners have already been decided.

Although I do like VC's answer best!

[julesapple]

Ah....right. Gee - I bet they're looking forward to that!

[veggiechicken]

Aww, you weren't supposed to let on, G4
Imagine all those supporters with their tickets in their hot,sticky hands,for the Scotland v France game being told, in the last hour - Its cancelled ' cos Wales won the Championship

[julesapple]

Mon dieu! Vous mentez! J'ai acheté un billet et je veillerai victoire France!

[Aberdeenplotter]

still the wooden spoon to play for or have England got that? Not a rugby follower

[veggiechicken]

Think its Ireland, - sorry

[cardiffsteve]

Think its Ireland, - sorry

Not true.
If Scotland can beat France then France get the wooden spoon. IIRC

[Aberdeenplotter]

so there is a lot at stake then

[Aberdeenplotter]

and it is 6 -0 Scotland

[julesapple]

Ooop..........
