France's Antoine Dupont lifts the Championship Trophy following the Six Nations match at the Stade de France in Paris, France. France's Thomas Ramos celebrates with teammates after kicking a penalty to win the Six Nations Championship. In a rare display of emotion, Borthwick slammed his hand down on his desk in celebration of the try. There was so much to admire about England's performance but their 10-point lead faded in first-half added time when referee Nika Amashukeli decided Genge had collapsed a maul, showing him a yellow card and awarding a penalty try. England were stung by a breakaway try for Bielle-Biarrey but when France prop Demba Bamba was sin-binned they pounced for the sixth time through Freeman, only for Ramos to kick the title-winning penalty.
