The 1987 Five Nations Championship was the fifty-eighth series of the rugby union Five Nations Championship. Including the previous incarnations as the Home Nations and Five Nations, this was the ninety-third series of the northern hemisphere rugby union championship. Ten matches were played over five weekends between 7 February and 4 April. This was the last time the championship would be interrupted by weather conditions until the Six Nations of 2012.[1] France won with a Grand Slam, for the fourth time, while England won the Calcutta Cup, in their only win. Originally the opening matches of the Championship were due to be played on the 17th January with England v Scotland at Twickenham and Wales v Ireland at Cardiff but both matches were called off due to the bad weather and postponed until the 4th April
