The 1982 Five Nations Championship was the fifty-third series of the rugby union Five Nations Championship. Including the previous incarnations as the Home Nations and Five Nations, this was the eighty-eighth series of the northern hemisphere rugby union championship. Ten matches were played between 16 January and 20 March. The winner of the championship was Ireland, with three wins and one defeat. It was the team's ninth title (excluding seven previous other titles which were shared). Ireland also won the Triple Crown, its fifth such honour, its first since 1949 and last one until 1985. The team's only defeat came on the final day of the competition, losing 22-9 to France in Paris, denying the Irish what would have been only their second ever Grand Slam.
Wales's defeat by Scotland was their first loss at home in a Five Nations championship match since France won at Cardiff in March 1968.
The Ireland v Wales game was delayed by a week due to a frozen pitch in Dublin. - Спорт
Was visiting friends in Cardiff, went to Wales v France game. Loved the atmosphere at the Arms Park (Millenium stadium has more of a party feel rather than a rugby crowd - very different), great supporters. At the end of the game I had a bet with 3 of them (10 pounds each) that Scotland would win there a few weeks later. They laughed me out as Wales hadn't lost a 5N game there for a number of years. Went back down there for the Scotland game, and to collect winnings.
Bill what a voice!!.
Brings back memories! Amazing how many more penalties resulted in kicks at goal and were successful. If the data exist, I wonder how Ollie Campbell’s strike rate would compare with that of Sexton, Biggar and Smith today.
Wales' 1st defeat at home in the championship for 14 years.
Why no action from France vs England and France vs Ireland? Was this because the rights to these games were not ultimately with BBC but French TV?
No France v Ireland in Paris.
Some amazingly dodgy reffing back in those days
I hope you’re being ironic
Oooooh that Murrayfield terracing eh
Who is the other commentator? Wales vs France and Scotland vs France? Can somebody help, please. tq.

TQ, Tom Davies. Much appreciated indeed.
Nottatall !
You always have to watch the French - often resort to underhand and cowardly tactics
