France 25-13 England: Follow live as France seal a Grand Slam and a first Six Nations title since 2010 in Paris

Proud Eddie Jones felt England’s dominant scrum deserved more after defeat in Six Nations Ireland match

Follow live coverage as France beat England 25-13 in the finale of the Six Nations in Paris to win the Grand Slam and lift the championship trophy for the first time in 12 years.

Fabien Galthie’s side made history as they claimed a Grand Slam and a first championship title since 2010. Victory over England achieved both those goals but the pressure was on, as any other result would have seen Ireland snatch the title after they beat Scotland earlier in the day.

Tries from Gael Fickou, Francois Cros and Antoine Dupont secured the title for Les Bleus in front of a raucous crowd at the Stade de France.

PENALTY! FRANCE 11-3 England (Melvyn Jaminet penalty, 24 minutes)

Melvyn Jaminet is content enough to dash back having collected three, though. A pleasant thud as he boots the ball between the uprights.

France 8-3 England, 23 minutes

This French attack is getting closer and closer to clicking and really cutting England open. An English maul infringement allows them to play with freedom, painting pretty pictures with delicate brushstrokes and the heavier splodges from Uini Atonio and co., but another handling error five metres out in the left corner ends their hopes of a five-pointer.

France 8-3 England, 22 minutes

England kick ball away, again, and France return with a better directed effort, forcing George Furbank to trot over to the touchline to try and retrieve it. And that is a real mistake from Furbank, getting chalk on his boots as he gathers while stepping into touch and giving France ideal attacking platform just outside the England 22.

France 8-3 England, 20 minutes

Penalty to England! That is not a popular decision with the home crowd, who boo, hiss and whistle as Jaco Peyper rules that Damian Penaud’s nudge is the cause of the issue, with Nowell more of a victim. It’s a fair enough call, really, but the Stade de France does not agree.

France 8-3 England, 20 minutes

Nowell isn’t looking at Jaminet, and he’s bumping up against a retreating Damian Penaud, but Jaminet has landed really nastily. How will the officials view this?

France 8-3 England, 20 minutes

Now then. Jack Nowell could be in a bit of bother here. Melvyn Jaminet rose high to claim the latest skyward lift from England, and rather tumbled over Nowell, who failed to leave his feet. Jaco Peyper wants a chat with Marius Jonker...

PENALTY! France 8-3 ENGLAND (Marcus Smith penalty, 19 minutes)

England get on the board. A good strike from Smith.

France 8-0 England, 17 minutes

Ellis Genge is warming to the task. He beats three defenders on his latest foray from a withheld position, but England’s phase play is again plagued by an inability to support the ball carrier, stalling their momentum.

This time, though, France become overly excited at the prospect of a counter-ruck and are pinged from arriving from the side. Marcus Smith fancies his chances from 41 metres, just right of centre, as well he might.
