I learned today that hundreds of thousands of people follow social media accounts that post identical pictures every day.

We are all doomed aren't we?

Anyway, if social media is your thing then why not raise the bar slightly and hit us with suggestions for a better figurative 'loser's trophy' than a wooden spoon.

Maybe the team who finish bottom of the Six Nations could be hosed down by the "heat spray of shame".

#bbc6nations , externalon Twitter, 81111 on text, or the BBC Sport Facebook, external and Google+, external pages are where to go with your suggestions.

Final Score, Saturday Sportsday, Pointless Celebrities. You all had your fun.

Last week the Six Nations took a rest and they all piled onto the BBC One schedule.

This week, they have been unceremoniously turfed out as rugby regains its rightful place.

Scotland v Italy and France v Wales are both live on BBC television's main stage.

BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will be pumping out commentary from Edinburgh with 5 live doing the same in Paris.

Only twice in 15 editions of the Six Nations has the Wooden Spoon not ended up in the possession of either Scotland or Italy.

Whoever loses today at Murrayfield won't necessarily be picking up another unwanted kitchen utensil. This year's Six Nations is too difficult to predict to be sure of that.

But for both teams, this is the most winnable fixture left on the list.

So far in this Six Nations, Scotland have scored more tries in Paris than France.

In their meeting with England a fortnight ago, Italy ran in three tries - as many as Wales, Australia and Samoa managed to score between them against Stuart Lancaster's side in their previous three Tests.

But this isn't figure-skating. There are no marks for artistic merit. No bonus points for entertaining the masses.

This is the Six Nations and Scotland and Italy are both rock bottom of the table with two defeats and a big fat donut in the wins column.
