How final day unfolded as France win Six Nations
France won the 2025 Men's Six Nations by beating Scotland at Stade de France on an exciting Super Saturday.
Ireland's bonus-point win over Italy propelled them to the top of the standings after the first game of the final round.
However, their hopes of a third successive title did not last long as England scored 10 tries to thrash Wales in Cardiff to move into top spot by a point.
This meant the title came down to the final game, with Les Bleus needing to defeat Scotland to lift their first title since 2022.
Francex, who led the standings heading into the final day, delivered a bonus-point win in Paris to win the championship by a point.
England, France and Ireland all only lost one game, but Fabien Galthie's side picked up a bonus point in every game including a losing bonus in their 26-25 defeat by England at Allianz Stadium.
Who has won the most Six Nations titles?
France's victory means they equal England for the most titles won with seven since the championship became the Six Nations in 2000.
However, England have not lifted the trophy since 2020.
Wales and Ireland have both won six titles, while Scotland and Italy have never won it.
Wales and France lead the way when it comes to Grand Slams with four each, Ireland have three and England two.
Ireland have won the Triple Crown eight times, with England and Wales on five each. Scotland have yet to lift the Triple Crown trophy.
