What does achieving a Grand Slam mean across different sports?

#8 Rugby

England achieved the feat of Grand Slam in 2016.

In Rugby, a grand slam occurs when one team out of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy in the Six Nations Championships beats all its opponents during a one-year period.

England has won the grand slam a record 13 times. Wales is second on the list with 11 grand slam titles to its name.

Alternatively, a Grand Slam tour is achieved by a touring side (namely South Africa, Australia or New Zealand) if it wins all its matches against all the home sides (namely England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales).

Grand Slams by touring sides have been achieved nine times. South Africa and New Zealand have won the title four times each. Australia has won it once.
