Why is the Grand Slam not possible when France weren't taking part? According to the description, the title is according when a team beats all other teams - that's possible no matter how many other teams are playing, surely...?

It is but back then it was called the "Triple Crown".GordyB 09:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes

I took out a load of stuff about NZ in 2005 as it was irrelevent on a page purporting to be about the Rugby Grand Slam. 88.105.117.122 22:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

And I also added the French name for it - Le Grand Schlem 88.105.117.122 23:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland is a home nation

This is a sports term, it has never been used as a political term. Even the Irish media and the IRFU use it with regard to the Irish rugby union team. Will people stop vandalising pages containing the term?GordyB 13:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table

Is it really necessary to have every year where it was not achieved listed separately? Why can't we just do what we do with the wars etc. and just say something like "1958-67: Not achieved"? It would save a lot of time browsing down the page. Ygoloxelfer 15:53, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Amended accordingly.GordyB 16:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
