All-favorites Kalistan and surprise last-minute winners Luthori
July 5724

---

And just like that, the 5724 Six Nations Cup in Valruzia has come to an end! All the teams have fought fiercely but at the end, only one men's team and one women's team would lift the trophy. And after the matches tonight came to a close, we have our answer to who would they be! With all six matches hosted simultaneously across the Valruzian capital city of Nowogard to avoid any possible conflict, the streets exploded in both celebrations and laments as results were coming in. 

In the men's tournament:

• Valruzia v. Kalistan: The most-awaited match of the tournament delivered no surprises, although many inside de Nowik Arena were waiting for so. Over 90,000 seats sold, fully booked, the stadium saw an impressive clash between the two rugby giants of Seleya, but in the end, there was nothing to do. With a 12–31 score, Kalistan overpowered the hosts and delivered a decisive blow to finish the tournament with a GOLDEN SCORE after not losing a single match!
  
• Luthori v. Lodamun: Despite all their best efforts, the lodamese team ultimately had no more energy in them to fight their rivals, and after what at first looked as a real even match, ended up with a 28–7 score for Luthori, leaving the Lodamese team with only a single victory in their pockets.
  
• Bianjie v. Mordusia: But if the Lodamese result is bad, the Bianjian men's team could very well ask for political asylum in Valruzia after losing again, this time by a 15–30 score, and leaving the Seleyan nation with nothing but losses in their score. Five matches, five losses. The only team in the whole tournament to lose this way. 
  

In the women's side, last-minute surprise happened!

• Valruzia v. Mordusia: Nobody saw it coming, most assumed it as a mere walkthrough. And yet, one bad night is all it takes to see dreams shattered. In the final match between first-placed Valruzia and last-placed Mordusia, it was the latter team the one that came up victorious! A score of 14–26, the hosts could do nothing but see how the trophy slipped through their fingers after leading the women's competition the whole tournament. The Mordusian spectators and fans present in the Kaligrad Arena could do nothing but scream of joy seeing how after all, their team delivered a heavy blow.
  
• Kalistan v. Lodamun: In oppositon to their male counterpart, the Kalistani female side throughout the tournament has not given strong vibes with their performances. And tonight's performance lacked the same. Despite winning against Lodamun by 31–12, many were left wondering how much of that victory was due to luck and how much was due to their real performance, and that might be something they will have to reflect on once they are home.
  
• Luthori v. Bianjie: The match that, a priori, would determine who were the second and third-placed teams turned out to be a battlefield. With both sides' fans screaming and shouting during the whole match, a score of 38–14 in favor of Luthori meant one thing, after Valruzia was defeated in their match: that they had won the competition. When news broke for the team, tears of joy could be clearly seen from afar, as the Bianjian team was left in tears as well after doing an extremely good tournament and finishing in third place.
