How England performed
Two wins from three matches earned England a share of the 1890 Home Nations Championship title, an improvement on their third place in 1887.
The campaign began on 15 February with a defeat by Wales, who won by a try to nil at Crown Flatt, Dewsbury. England responded a fortnight later by beating Scotland 1–0 at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, and closed on 15 March with a win over Ireland at Rectory Field, Blackheath, by three tries to nil.
