"Thomas Ramos had a penalty to win it for France with the last kick of the game, and he converted with aplomb to break Irish hearts. Louis Bielle-Biarrey shone in a four-try display to put Les Bleus on 21 points, two ahead of Ireland while England finished fifth, winning only one game in the Six Nations for the first time."
"England battled hard and scored tries through Tom Roebuck, Cadan Murley, Ollie Chessum (2), Alex Coles, Tommy Freeman and Marcus Smith. France have now won eight Six Nations titles, one more than England, and two more than Ireland and Wales."
Ireland secured the Triple Crown by defeating Scotland 43-21, but their Six Nations championship hopes depended on England's performance against France. England played impressively and scored seven tries through Tom Roebuck, Cadan Murley, Ollie Chessum (twice), Alex Coles, Tommy Freeman, and Marcus Smith. However, France prevailed in dramatic fashion when Thomas Ramos converted a penalty kick in the final moments of the match. Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored four tries for France, propelling Les Bleus to 21 championship points, two ahead of Ireland. England finished fifth with only one Six Nations victory. France now holds eight Six Nations titles, surpassing England's seven and leading Ireland and Wales by two.
