France against Scotland – Six nations live: Result and reaction as Les Bleus Clinch title to deny England

The Scottish trainer Gregor Townsend said to ITV:

“We asked the players to provide an achievement of effort and physicality, and they did that. Our strikers sometimes played excellent rugby.

“We did not have the breaks, the bad luck before half -time, with an inadmissible attempt and then a mistake, and they achieved shortly after half. We were in this game for much.

“In the first half we were a bum cheek about the change when Blair Kinghorn was in contact and they are a very good defense. They have to be patient and accuracy, and that was a bit missing today.

“It is a very hard competition. The teams cannot play every game that nobody won a Grand Slam well. We are a high -quality team, it simply didn't make it accessible to us this year.”

The France defense trainer Shaun Edwards said ITV:

“A special night for me” when he celebrates his 250th Rugby Union International as a coach.

“The stars aligned me this evening. We showed the second half in defense when we only conceded three points.

“We defended very well against Ireland, but somehow went away in the last five minutes, but today we were up for the full 80.”

On Louis Bielle-Biary: “He has gotten better and better since the World Cup in 2023, and hopefully he'll get better again. He is a sensational athlete, a wonderful guy.

“I feel just as happy as if it were a grand slam because it shows that we had great resistance because we lost a game.”

Player of the game Yoram Moefana said ITV:

“It is amazing. It was a very hard game, Scotland is a big team. I would like to thank the team because they fought with Scotland from start to finish.

“It is amazing. The difference in France this year was to be happy in the field and play our game.

“We want to put the pressure on the field and play with the ball.

“It is so bad for Antoine Dupont, but this game was too for him. We want to fight for him in the game and we did it. We are so happy.”
