6N U20: England on a Mission
The more for the World Champions is a Grand Slam and with it its little brother the Triple Crown. The mission is likely to be accomplished if this year's Six Nations is anything to go by. A glance at the results below tells you that.
There is also a battle for a trophy to be won – the Wooden Spoon. Scotland and Italy meet this weekend and they have the same two points each on the log. Scotland have ground advantage.
