1 The academic wooden spoon at the University of Cambridge
The wooden spoon was originally associated with the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, and was a kind of booby prize awarded by the students to the person who achieved the lowest exam marks, but still earned a third-class degree.
How the Cambridge wooden spoon idea came to be used in Rugby union is not exactly known, but in the early years of the Six Nations Championship there were many Cambridge graduates playing, so they may have attempted to preserve the concept after the last one was awarded in 1909.

 Wooden spoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wooden spoon is a long-handled spoon, usually used in food preparation, that is made of wood.
Wooden spoons have been made in virtually every nation on earth and (compared to silver or pewter or gold spoons) represent the ordinary artisan and reflect the life of ordinary folk: this is their "folk art".
Each spoon could contain different meaning as shown by the use of various symbols, for instance: a chain would mean a wish to be together forever; a diamond would mean wealth or good fortune; a cross would mean faith; a flower would mean affection; or a dragon for protection.
