France retained their Six Nations title with a 48-46 victory over England in Paris, decided by Thomas Ramos' last-gasp penalty. The match featured 13 tries and multiple lead changes in what became the highest-scoring Six Nations game in history. England appeared to have snatched victory when Tommy Freeman crossed with four minutes remaining, but Ramos held his nerve from long range.

Louis Bielle-Biarrey starred with four tries for France, while Ollie Chessum scored twice for England including a stunning intercept from deep in his own half. The game swung dramatically throughout, with England recovering from two early sucker-punch tries to lead by 10 points at one stage. A late first-half penalty try while Ellis Genge was in the sin bin cut England's advantage to three.

Despite the defeat, England's performance marked a significant improvement from their earlier championship displays. Steve Borthwick's side finish fifth in the table having lost four games for the first time, but showed enough promise to suggest optimism for their summer Tests against South Africa, Fiji and Argentina. France's third title in five years was sealed in dramatic fashion, denying Ireland the championship despite their win over Scotland.
