PARIS, March 14 - Thomas Ramos kicked a last-gasp penalty to secure France’s third Six Nations title in five years, edging past England 48-46 in a heart-stopping clash at the Stade de France.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey starred with four tries, propelling Les Bleus to 21 points. Ireland clinched second place with a 43-21 victory over Scotland, while England finished fifth, winning just one match-their first such finish in the tournament’s history.
England fought back with tries from Tom Roebuck, Cadan Murley, Ollie Chessum (2), Alex Coles, Tommy Freeman, and Marcus Smith.
France now leads England with eight titles, two more than Ireland and Wales.
