France secured its third Six Nations title in five years with a 48-46 victory over England, powered by a historic four-try performance from winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
The 22-year-old now has 29 tries in just 27 caps, surpassing his own record from last year. Coach Fabien Galthie called him a "lethal weapon" and said he is following in the footsteps of captain Antoine Dupont.
"It’s difficult to find the right words for Louis at the moment," Galthie said. "He’s prolific, record-breaking, and inspires others."
Fly-half Thomas Ramos sealed the win with a late penalty, but concerns remain over France’s defense after conceding 96 points in their last two games. Galthie acknowledged the need for improvement ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
"We’re going to enjoy this," Ramos said, "but we can’t concede 50 points and expect to win big tournaments."
Dupont praised the team’s unity and emotional reward, calling titles "rare" and worth savoring. With Bielle-Biarrey’s rise, France appears poised for sustained success on rugby’s global stage.
