6 Nations Champions

Great day. Wales v England, Cardiff, last day of the 6 Nations.

England 4 for 4. Wales 3 for 4.

If England win, they get the Grand Slam, Championship, Triple Crown.

If Wales win, but the margin is less than 7,  England win the Championship.

If Wales, the margin is 7, and England score 3 more tries than Wales, England win the Championship.

If Wales win by 7, and England score 2 more tries than Wales, the Championship is shared.

If Wales win by 7, and England score fewer than 2 more tries than Wales, Wales win the Championship.

If Wales win and the margin is more than 7,  Wales win and retain the Championship.
