How England performed

Thirty-six points against Ireland made up more than half of England's 60 in 1938, yet they finished third. Wales won the opener 14–8 at Cardiff Arms Park, Cardiff, on 15 January.

The 36–14 victory over Ireland came at Lansdowne Road, Dublin, on 12 February, but Scotland won 21–16 at Twickenham, London, on 19 March to leave England with one win from three. They conceded 49 points, a step down from the Triple Crown of 1937.
