Summary thumb|Scrum between Scotland, left, and France, right, 7 February 2010. France won the match 18–9. thumb|Line-out between England, in white, and Italy, in blue, 14 February 2010. England won the match 17–12. The reigning champions on entering the tournament were Ireland, who won the Grand Slam and Triple Crown in 2009. Ireland did not win the Triple Crown in 2010 due to a surprise 23–20 loss to Scotland in the final Six Nations match at Croke Park on 20 March, with Scotland avoiding their third "wooden spoon" since 2004 in the process. Brian O'Driscoll had opened the scoring in the 11th minute and Ireland were level with Scotland in the 64th minute after Tommy Bowe scored a try, with substitute Ronan O'Gara converting. Scotland's Johnnie Beattie scored his team's first try since they played Wales in their second game and Dan Parks scored a penalty in the final minute to prevent Ireland winning the Triple Crown.Scots dash Ireland's Triple Crown dream http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0320/ireland_scotland1.html RTÉ Sport 20 March 2010 20 March 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100323074712/http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0320/ireland_scotland1.html 23 March 2010 dead Ireland coach Declan Kidney described it as "not our greatest day".'Not our greatest day' – Declan Kidney http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0320/ireland_quotes.html RTÉ Sport 20 March 2010 20 March 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100325003731/http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0320/ireland_quotes.html 25 March 2010 dead Ireland's previous match – a 27–12 victory over Wales on 13 March – had seen O'Driscoll achieve 100 caps for his country.Ireland 27–12 Wales http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0313/ireland_wales.html RTÉ Sport 13 March 2010 20 March 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100317154903/http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0313/ireland_wales.html 17 March 2010 dead Ireland's previous match against England had seen John Hayes achieve 100 caps for his country, the first player to do so for Ireland.John Hayes expects huge English challenge http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0225/hayesj1.html RTÉ Sport 25 February 2010 20 March 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100408073758/http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2010/0225/hayesj1.html 8 April 2010 dead Six Nations 2010: John Hayes looks beyond century of Ireland caps to World Cup Gavin Mairs https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/ireland/7309417/Six-Nations-2010-Centurion-John-Hayes-has-World-Cup-in-his-sights.html The Daily Telegraph 25 February 2010 20 March 2010 London Ireland's loss to Scotland meant France had won the Championship but could still achieve the Grand Slam by beating England in their final game at the Stade de France on 20 March.Six Nations 2010: England's Martin Johnson questions referee after defeat to France Paul Bolton https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/england/7490731/Six-Nations-2010-Englands-Martin-Johnson-questions-referee-after-defeat-to-France.html The Daily Telegraph 21 March 2010 21 March 2010 London https://web.archive.org/web/20100324103221/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/england/7490731/Six-Nations-2010-Englands-Martin-Johnson-questions-referee-after-defeat-to-France.html 24 March 2010 live The Grand Slam was achieved by France following a 12–10 victory in this game.
