France were crowned 2025 Six Nations champions
France regained the Six Nations title for the first time in three years with a 35-16 victory over Scotland in Paris.
France required a victory of any kind to get their hands on the trophy, despite England’s emphatic victory in Cardiff taking the title race to the final game of the championship.
In a pulsating contest, Scotland threatened to provide their old enemy with the biggest of favours before a ruthless display of brute force saw France put their spirited challenge to bed.
France – Tries: Moefana (2), Bielle-Biarrey, Ramos. Conversions: Ramos (3). Penalties: Ramos (3).
Scotland – Tries: Graham. Conversions: Russell. Penalties: Russell (3).
France led 16-13 at the break thanks to Yoram Moefana’s try but could easily have trailed and been reduced to 14 players had Tom Jordan’s disallowed try stood and Peato Mauvaka been sent off for a blatant headbutt on Ben White.
But they took full advantage of the pair of reprieves, motoring to the title – the second of the Fabien Galthie era – in imperious fashion with three unanswered second-half tries.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey crowned his stellar campaign with his record-equalling eighth try in this year’s Six Nations before additional scores from Thomas Ramos and Moefana sparked the Stade de France into party mode.
