Season Description France won the championship in the final match, crowned Six Nations champions for the seventh time, their 19th outright title in all formats and their 27th title overall. Three teams – France, England and holders Ireland – won four games and lost a fifth, with France triumphing on bonus points. Wales finished with a second successive Wooden Spoon after losing all five games. No team won the Grand Slam, although Ireland completed their 14th Triple Crown before defeat to France. Their third place finish was the worst of any Triple Crown-winning side; all previous winners had either won the championship or finished runners-up.
