You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:56, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''1991 Five Nations Championship''' was the 62nd series of the [[Five Nations Championship]], an annual [[rugby union]] competition between the major [[Northern Hemisphere]] rugby union national teams. The tournament consisted of ten matches held between 19 January and 16 March 1991.

The tournament was the 62nd in its then format as the Five Nations. Including the competition's former incarnation as the Home Nations Championship, the 1991 Five Nations Championship was the 97th Northern Hemisphere rugby union championship.

The championship was contested by [[England national rugby union team|England]], [[France national rugby union team|France]], [[Ireland national rugby union team|Ireland]], [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] and [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]]. England won the tournament, achieving a final 21–19 victory over France to win the [[Grand Slam (rugby union)|Grand Slam]], their first since [[1980 Five Nations Championship|1980]] and ninth overall in the Five Nations. This was also their nineteenth outright victory, including five victories in the Home Nations, excluding ten titles shared with other countries. England also won the [[Triple Crown (rugby union)|Triple Crown]] and [[Calcutta Cup]] as a result of their victories over the other [[Home Nations]]. France and Scotland placed second and third with three and two wins respectively, while Ireland and Wales placed fourth and fifth without achieving any victories; the fixture between the two teams resulted in a 21–21 draw.

It was also the fourth occasion, after [[1978 Five Nations Championship|1978]], [[1984 Five Nations Championship|1984]] and [[1990 Five Nations Championship|1990]], on which two teams each with three victories faced off against each other in the final round of matches, with both capable of completing a Grand Slam with a victory. France lost on their third attempt.

This edition was also famous for the try [[Philippe Saint-André]] scored in the last match of the tournament against England, which was later voted [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]]'s try of the century.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/england/6486867/Twickenham-centenary-fans-vote-Philippe-Saint-Andre-1991-as-greatest-try-at-home-of-English-rugby.html|title=Twickenham centenary: fans vote Philippe Saint-André 1991 as greatest try at home of English rugby|last=Gallagher|first=Brendan|date=2009-11-02|access-date=2019-02-06|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235))</ref>
