France reclaimed the Six Nations crown after three years with a dominant 35-16 victory over Scotland in Paris. Despite England’s emphatic win in Cardiff, Les Bleus needed only a win to secure the championship, and they delivered in style.
In a fiercely contested match, Scotland briefly threatened an upset before France’s powerful display sealed the title. Yoram Moefana led the charge with two tries, while Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Thomas Ramos, and additional points from Ramos’ boot ensured victory. Scotland fought back through a try from Darcy Graham and the accuracy of Finn Russell, but it wasn’t enough to halt the French charge.
A crucial turning point came before halftime when Scotland’s Tom Jordan had a try disallowed, and Peato Mauvaka escaped a red card for a headbutt. France capitalized on these reprieves and surged ahead in the second half, with Bielle-Biarrey setting a new Six Nations record with his eighth try of the tournament.
Ramos and Moefana added late tries, igniting celebrations at the Stade de France, where injured captain Antoine Dupont lifted the trophy. France’s resilience and clinical execution secured their second title under coach Fabien Galthié, reaffirming their dominance in European rugby.
