It was the third occasion, after 1978 and 1984, on which two teams each with three victories faced off against each other in the final round of matches, with both capable of completing a Grand Slam with a victory, and the first time that the Triple Crown had also been at stake at the same time, as a result of England and Scotland's earlier victories over the other Home Nations. England and France placed second and third with three and two wins respectively, while Ireland and Wales placed fourth and fifth with one victory and none. This was Wales's first whitewash in Championship history.February 2019 This was Scotland's final Grand Slam in the Five Nations and penultimate overall win, as they would later win the final 1999 Five Nations Championship on points difference. It also remains Scotland's most recent Grand Slam win, as they have yet to win a Grand Slam since Italy joined what became the Six Nations Championship in 2000.http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/10048.php Wooden Spoon History Welsh Rugby Union 28 March 2003 11 August 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20130602094821/http://www.wru.co.uk/eng/news/10048.php 2 June 2013 Participants The teams involved were: NationVenueCityHead coachCaptainENGTwickenhamLondonGeoff CookeWill CarlingFRA 1974Parc des PrincesParisJacques FourouxPierre Berbizier/Laurent RodriguezIRELansdowne RoadDublinCiaran FitzgeraldWillie Anderson/Donal LenihanSCOMurrayfieldEdinburghIan McGeechanDavid SoleWALNational StadiumCardiffJohn Ryan (resigned)/Ron WaldronRobert Jones Squads each nation's squad for the 1990 Five Nations Championship 1990 Five Nations Championship squads Table main WDL Q points 2 SCO SCO ENG ENG FRA FRA 1974 IRE IRE WAL WAL 4 0 0 60 26 3 0 1 90 26 2 0 2 67 78 1 0 3 36 75 0 0 4 42 90 #ccffcc A complete Results 1990-01-20 WAL 19–29 FRA 1974 Report Try: Titley Pen: Thorburn (4)Drop: D.
