Ireland by contrast endured one of their worst championships of the period, losing all three games and failing to score.

Scotland had kicked off the competition with an easy victory over Ireland in the first match.

England and Wales by contrast split the points, failing to breach a 1–1 draw at Ninian Park.

England exerted their authority over the Irish in their second game with a simple win, whilst Wales performed the impressive feat of beating Scotland on their home turf with a hard-won 1–0 success.

Had goal difference been used at this time to further separate the teams, then Wales would have won a rare individual victory, but this method of scoring was not introduced to the British Home Championship until the Seventies.
