The Six Nations tournament has seen the French rugby team establish itself as the last remaining undefeated squad after two rounds of play. While France sits comfortably at the top of the standings, all other participating teams have succumbed to at least one defeat. The French squad's strong performance has also translated to an impressive goal difference, providing them with a crucial advantage in the overall ranking should ties occur among teams.

In stark contrast, the Welsh team finds itself at the bottom of the standings, struggling with consecutive heavy losses. Having not won a match in the tournament since 2023, they face the very real threat of finishing at the bottom for the third consecutive year, an outcome that would be categorically termed the 'wooden spoon.' With a disheartening streak of 13 consecutive defeats in Six Nations matches hanging over them, the Welsh are desperately seeking a turnaround to their fortunes.

The current rankings reflect the competitive spirit of the tournament after two matchdays, with France leading with 10 points and a positive goal difference of +64, followed by Scotland with 6 points, England and Italy each with 5 points, and Ireland trailing at the bottom with 4 points. The pressure is mounting for all teams as the competition heats up and the stakes for the Grand Slam and avoiding the wooden spoon become clearer.
