The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), was established in 1881, the same year that Wales played their first international against England. Wales' performances in the Home Nations Championship (now the Six Nations) continued to improve, experiencing their first 'golden age' between 1900 and 1911.

They won eight Five Nations Championships. They played in the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987 where they achieved their best ever result of third. Following the professionalisation of rugby in 1995, Wales hosted the 1999 World Cup and, in 2005, won their first Six Nations Grand Slam which was followed by a second in 2008. Their 2005 Grand Slam is notable for being the first ever team to gain the accolade playing most matches away from home.

Wales play in red jerseys embroidered with the Prince of Wales's feathers. Their current home ground is the Millennium Stadium, completed in 1999 to replace the National Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park. Ten former Welsh players have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, and two of the ten have been inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame.

The Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) is the governing body of rugby union in Scotland. It is the second oldest Rugby Union, being founded in 1873.

The Scotland national rugby union team represents Scotland in international rugby union. Rugby union in Scotland is administered by the Scottish Rugby Union. The Scotland rugby union team is currently ranked ninth in the IRB World Rankings as at 16 November 2009, and makes up one quarter of the British and Irish Lions rugby team. They annually take part in the Six Nations and participate in the Rugby World Cup, which takes place every four years.

Scottish rugby dates back to 1871, where they beat England in the first international rugby union match at Raeburn Place. Since it started in 1883, Scotland competed in the Five Nations winning it 14 times outright - including the last ever Five Nations in 1999 - and sharing it another 8. In 2000 the competition accepted a sixth competitor, Italy, thus forming the Six Nations. Since this change, Scotland has yet to win the competition. The Rugby World Cup was introduced in 1987 and Scotland has competed in all five competitions, the last being in 2007. Scotland's best finish came in 1991, where they lost to the All Blacks in the third place play-off.

Scotland has a strong rivalry with the English national team. They both annually compete for the Calcutta Cup. Each year, this fixture is played out as part of the Six Nations. England are the current holders after defeating Scotland 26–12 at Twickenham in the 2009 Six Nations. While Scotland has defeated England the last two times the sides have played at the Scots' home ground of Murrayfield, they have recorded few victories over their "Auld Enemy" in recent years, beating them just four times since 1990. Furthermore, their last away victory over England was in 1983

Why is the English prince always called the Prince of Wales; is it because they killed the last real Welsh?

prince and supplanted him with their own, to legitamise the title Prince of Wales

"the English prince" is inaccurate - you mean the first-born son of the British monarch and heir apparent to the throne. The title was created for his son (later Edward II) in 1301 by Edward I as a gesture to the Welsh after he had finally conquered the principality of Wales, and ever since, the title of Prince of Wales has traditionally been given to the heir apparent to the English monarch (after the Act of Union with Scotland in 1707, the British monarch).

Previous answers say 1307 - that is when Edward II became King, not when he was made Prince of Wales.
