France crowned Six Nations champion at the last second, heartbreak for Ireland
France won the Six Nations Championship with time already over, thanks to a final kick by Thomas Ramos.
Few could have predicted how crazy the final night of the Six Nations Championship would go, and how France went from aiming for a Grand Slam (winning every match of the rugby tournament) in February, to being at the brink of elimination... with Ireland watching anxiously. They needed a miracle from their neighbours... and now they have another reason to hate the English.
Ireland's 43-21 thrashing of Scotland earlier gave hopes to the Irish for an unexpected title at the last moment, which would be their seventh overall, first since 2024. All it took was for England to defeat France... and the match was 44-46 to England in literally the last seconds. But England conceded a penalty, and with the time done, Thomas Ramos (the best kicker in rugby according to some experts) did not miss, for a 48-46 that secured France a second title in a row.
