France retain Six Nations crown in thriller

Thomas Ramos kicked an 82nd-minute penalty to win the Six Nations for France with a mind-blowing 48-46 victory over England on Saturday.

Winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored four of the 13 tries in a barn-storming encounter in which the lead changed hands numerous times.

But fullback Ramos’ kick ensured that France retained the title and denied Ireland, who had moved into pole position by beating Scotland earlier.
