1985 Five Nations Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1985 Five Nations Championship was the fifty-sixth series of the rugby union Five Nations Championship. Including the previous incarnations as the Home Nations and Five Nations, this was the ninety-first series of the northern hemisphere rugby union championship. Ten matches were played between February 2 and April 20, 1985. The championship was contested by England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The championship winner was Ireland, winning their tenth (excluding eight other shared titles) and, so far, last title. Ireland also claimed the Triple Crown, their sixth, which would be their last until 2004.
