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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

France has the title in your possession again. You are the 2025 Six Nations Champions!

Scotland kept her floor in the first half, but France came out more after the break and called for the title before England, which previously dominated Wales.

Ritchie is punished for the fact that Penaud is questioned for the high ball, with Penaud staying at the bottom before he gets back on his feet. France clarifies on the right.

You benefit from the knock-on advantage in line-out, but the referee quickly considers the game to be a scrum.

Pensions, Jegou and France are punished as offside, but despite a previous warning by referee Matt Carley, no yellow card is given.

The game brings the game back. It is stated that Scotland pressure is the French Try-Line, but Muncaster is stopped by Flament. No attempt.

Scotland shifted her attack on Van der Merwe on the left, but Ramos and Penaud combine it to get it into contact. The visitors have lost part of their attack threat here.

Russell is hit hard by Bielle Biary in a duel, with a possible buoyancy that could lead to a punishment. Ultimately, it is just a punishment.

Huw Jones was also hit and sets off.
