La Triple Corona, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Nations_Championship#Triple_Crown_Trophy , trofeo que consigue el que derrota los otros tres equipos anglosajones del Seis Naciones, la disputan Inglaterra, Irlanda, Escocia y Gales. Hasta el 2006 el trofeo era invisible pues no existía un trofeo físico que entregar al ganador. Ese año el principal patrocinador de la competición, el Royal Bank of Scotland, encargó un trofeo que se adjudiquen a los ganadores de la Triple Corona, un plato de plateado.
Este año ha ganado Gales en Twickenham por 19-12, y con ello consiguió su vigésima Triple Corona. Al tiempo ha conseguido acercarse al Grand Slam (victoria sobre los otros cinco rivales), que se jugará, previsiblemente, el 17 de marzo en Cardiff contra Francia, el otro equipo invicto. Como tributo a gales publico, junto a una foto del trofeo, imágenes del posavasos que Guinness www.guinness.com dedicó al equipo de Gales. Más un video del partido.

that gets the team that defeat the other three Anglo-Saxons teams in the Six Nations Championship, (Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales). Until 2006 the trophy was invisible because there was not a material trophy that deliver winning. In 2006 the main sponsor of the competition, the Royal Bank of Scotland, commissioned a trophy awarded to the winners of the Triple Crown, a silver dish.
This year Wales just won at Twickenham 19-12, and got his 20th Triple Crown. At the time it has managed to get closer to the Grand Slam (victory over the other five rivals), which will be played, predictably, on March 17 in Cardiff against France, the other unbeaten team.
In tribute to Wales, I publish a photo of the Triple Crown Trophy and a image from the coaster that Guinness www.guinness.com edited representing Wales for the Six Nations, ad avideo about the match.
