Six Nations Rugby: France Beat Scotland 35-16 To Win Title, Set Tournament-Try Record
France warded off a resilient Scotland 35-16 to clinch the Six Nations rugby 2025 title with a tournament-try record on Sunday (March 16). Coach Fabien Galthie's side needed only a victory at chilly Stade de France to ensure a first title since 2022. The bonus-point win helped Les Tricolores finish one point above England, who hammered Wales 68-14 with 10 tries. “We have shed this weight,” said a relieved Galthie, who was also coach three years ago. “We share our joy and the pleasure with the French people.” France scored four tries to set a tournament record with 30, one more than England in 2001.
