THE 1989 Five Nations Championship saw ten matches played over five weekends between January and March.
France won it with three wins and one defeat (against England), while no British team was able to win the Triple Crown. England entered the final round of matches knowing that a win would give them at least a share of the championship, but were overturned in Cardiff as Wales scored their only victory of the season.
Rob Andrew starred for England in a team which also featured Will Carling.
The stadia used were Twickenham, Stade de France, Aviva Stadium, Stadio Olimpico, Murrayfield Stadium and the Millennium Stadium
Meanwhile local rugby was going strong in Hampshire.
Can you see any faces you know from our line ups from 1989?
