Six Nations Super Saturday (The Results)

Nine months ago, the 2020 Six Nations Rugby Championship got underway.

Saturday, 31st October, saw the final round of matches take place, with the title going to any of Ireland, France or England.

The first fixture of the day, Wales v Scotland, resulted in a 14-10 away win for the Scots, who lifted the Doddie Weir Cup for the first time:

Video courtesy of the Guinness Six Nations YouTube Channel.

The second fixture of the day, Italy v England, resulted in a 34-5 bonus point away win for England, who were top of the table prior to the final game of the Championship.

The final fixture of the day, France v Ireland, took place in Paris.  To take the title, France had to overtake the points total of the teams above them in the table at the start of play. The mathematics for Ireland were much more simple: Win by a  seven point margin.

The final score was a 35-27 win for France.  Not enough for France to take the title, also the defeat for Ireland denied them the title.

View the final 2020 Six Nations Championship Table here.

England are the 2020 Six Nations Champions.  See England lift the Trophy:

That concludes the logs for Tuesday 14 June and Thursday 18 August 2005.

In the intervening fifteen years between the above days of reception and the posting of these logs, there are some differences to report.

Fresh Radio, after changing hands three times, would come under the ownership of UKRD in January 2012. UKRD promptly ceased transmission at 6pm on the same day they took ownership.  Move forward to October 2013 and a successful application for a Community Radio license saw Dales Radio go on air on 936 kHz, from the same transmission site in Hawes.

Magic 999, under the ownership of Bauer Media, would become Rock FM 2 (as a 'sister' to Rock FM in Preston), though is now part of the Greatest Hits Radio network.

Radio 10 Gold would rename as Radio 10 and move to FM transmission. The Flevoland sites would be demolished in early 2019, as shown by the footprint in the above left image.

Time has moved on in the fifteen and a half years between that day and this; Transmitter closures over a recent period means it is most likely you would now not hear BBC World Service and BBC Radio York on the above frequencies. If you now tune to 648 kHz, a former frequency of the BBC World Service, you will hear Radio Caroline, broadcasting its albums stream on a Community Radio license.
