It could also be a love spoon: one of my friends at college (yes, he was Welsh) made one for his girlfriend.

It is indeed one of those but why spoil the fun?

Yes Tim, Rupert is right, it’s a love spoon – traditionally whittled by Welshmen for their sheep

Yes, it’s a love spoon but the wooden spoon comparison is still funny, even speaking as a Welshman.

A nice touch from Google with the LOVE spoon . Google probably does not know or care about rugby .

Since 2000 when Italy was invited into the tournament to be the permanent whipping boys, the wooden spoon has been won four times by Scotland and once each by Wales and France. I’m sure Italy would be keen to see Georgia admitted to a Seven Nations.
In its entire history, Italy has beaten Wales twice (plus one draw), France thrice, Ireland four times and Scotland a whopping eight times.
