In 1910 the tournament then became the Five Nations with the inclusion of France. It would remain in this successful format up to 1999, when Scotland famously lifted the Five Nations trophy. In 2000 the tournament was expanded with the addition of Italy taking the tournament to how we now know it as the Six Nations. There have been calls for expansion and/or promotion and relegation to fit in the so-called second-tier sides of Georgia or Romania but there are no signs of this on the horizon.
