This is it, what we all thought would happen has happened: the ireland team has won the 6 nations and in addition, they have also achieved the grand slam, something they had not achieved since 1946. The Welsh fought well and until the very last minute, when Wales fly-half Stephen Jones missed a 50-metre penalty with the game’s final kick. The game was nail-biting right until the end but Ireland a two point lead 17-15 enough to win the game.

Despite scoring 8-50 against Italy, the French failed to gain enough points to secure second place. Lievremont admitted the 34-10 defeat to England would "mark France's history" and that the thrashing of Italy would not take that pain away. France are a great team," said Dondi. "With this defeat we contributed to making them an even greater team. I apologise to our fans. But Mallett is not under discussion."

Scotland had not won in Twickenham since 1983 so it was little surprise when England defeated the Scotish team once more with 26-12. 

Only 45 weeks to wait before the next tournament.
