Answer 6

💡 All three other Home Nations

🔍 AI Fact Check

The answer 'All three other Home Nations' is imprecise and potentially confusing. The Home Nations in the Six Nations are England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland — four teams in total. A Home Nation wins the Triple Crown by beating the other THREE Home Nations, not 'all three other Home Nations' (which implies there are only three Home Nations total). However, the answer as written could be read as correct if interpreted charitably. More critically, the question asks what teams they must beat, and the answer should name those teams or clearly state 'the other three Home Nations'. The phrasing 'all three other Home Nations' is actually correct — there are four Home Nations, so beating the other three is accurate. On reflection, this is fine: a team beats the other three Home Nations to win the Triple Crown. The answer is correct and unambiguous.

💡 England

🔍 AI Fact Check

Answer 9
