List Of Six Nations Championship Hat-tricks

It was expanded to the Five Nations when France joined in 1910, and then to the Six Nations with the addition of Italy in 2000. The first player to achieve the feat was Charles Wade, who was an Australian student at Oxford University when he was called up as a travelling reserve for England's match against Wales.
