France win Six Nations once againA BREATHLESS BATTLE: France clinched the championship in a vicious back-and-forth match with England, denying Ireland the title by just a few pointsAP, PARISFrance won back-to-back Six Nations titles after beating England 48-46 on a last-second penalty-kick by Thomas Ramos in a thriller for the ages on Saturday. But France pressed yet again with 14 men, lost possession, regained it, and earned two simultaneous penalties after the fulltime siren. England scored four tries in the first half but suffered a major turning point right on halftime while leading 27-17. Prop Ellis Genge was sin-binned for collapsing a maul — England’s eighth yellow card in the tournament — and France were awarded a penalty try. Just over two minutes were left and France did not hold back, just as they did not at the start.
