France vs England LIVE: Six Nations rugby result, final score and reaction as France seal Grand Slam

France 25-13 England: Follow live as France seal a Grand Slam and a first Six Nations title since 2010 in Paris

Proud Eddie Jones felt England’s dominant scrum deserved more after defeat in Six Nations Ireland match

Follow live coverage as France beat England 25-13 in the finale of the Six Nations in Paris to win the Grand Slam and lift the championship trophy for the first time in 12 years.

Fabien Galthie’s side made history as they claimed a Grand Slam and a first championship title since 2010. Victory over England achieved both those goals but the pressure was on, as any other result would have seen Ireland snatch the title after they beat Scotland earlier in the day.

Tries from Gael Fickou, Francois Cros and Antoine Dupont secured the title for Les Bleus in front of a raucous crowd at the Stade de France.

PENALTY! Wales 7-9 ITALY (Paolo Garbisi penalty, 32 minutes)

Over it goes, curling in having started bound for the left-hand post.

Wales 7-6 Italy, 30 minutes

Paolo Garbisi brilliantly gathers the latest high bomb from Italy, swiftly joined by his forwards who make tough yards up the right-hand side. Federico Ruzza nearly breaches the Welsh defence, who then infringe rather cynically by going off their feet. Penalty to Italy, and Garbisi resumes kicking duties.

TRY! WALES 7-6 Italy (Owen Watkin try, 28 minutes)

Finally Wales take a chance! It’s a nice play at the line, Taulupe Faletau in a pod of three forwards including a late arriving Dillon Lewis, whose dummy line draws the defender and creates a chasm beyond.

Faletau’s pull-back pass allows Owen Watkin the chance to stride through it, and a piece of fancy footwork leaves the last defender grasping at thin air as Watkin scores. Dan Biggar converts and Wales go in front.

Wales 0-6 Italy, 26 minutes

A knock-on from Italy and Wales counter at speed. It’s a back line of proper gallopers and Louis Rees-Zammit is about the fastest of the lot, tearing up the right touchline and nearly putting Monty Ioane in difficulty.

Ioane, to be fair to him, does very well to bring Rees-Zammit down, but Wales are alive and the Principality begins to bounce...

Wales 0-6 Italy, 24 minutes

Dan Biggar isn’t happy as he and his teammates are pinged for offside at the scrum - the Wales fly-half complains that Italy were also breaching the required five-metre gap. He’s probably right, but attacking offsides of that sort are so seldom called. Italy back on the fringes of the Welsh 22.

Wales 0-6 Italy, 23 minutes

And that is the most basic of basic errors. Dewi Lake is handed quick-tap duties but fails to make contact with his boot after he places the ball on the floor. Italy scrum, and Leonardo Marin’s rather meaty right boot pushes Wales back into their own half.

A Welsh knock-on gives Italy scrum feed on their own 10-metre.

Wales 0-6 Italy, 21 minutes

Another Welsh knock-on with the line in sight! It’s more delightful backs interplay off set-piece ball, with Louis Rees-Zammit arcing around the back of the inside backs and nearly scorching the outside edge. Ange Capuozzo manages to just about fell him, but Rees-Zammit is soon on his feet again and eventually stopped more completely a metre out.

As Wales sweep to the right it appears a score may soon come but Willis Halaholo gets his handling wrong. Italy were offside, but Wales would like to be more clinical than this.

Wales 0-6 Italy, 20 minutes

Toa Halafihi introduces himself to Gareth Davies with a bump, knocking the scrum-half to the floor before Josh Navidi and co. arrive to help Davies out. Paolo Garbisi’s clearance is shorter than he’d have liked. Wales lineout 30 metres from the Italy line.

Wales 0-6 Italy, 19 minutes

Louis Rees-Zammit knocks-on! It’s a lovely backs move from Wales, with Johnny McNicholl fading beautifully onto Dan Biggar’s wide pass, and a better pass might have put Rees-Zammit in.

As it is, McNicholl’s floated ball forces his wing to reach forward at knee height, and the ball tumbles forward from Rees-Zammit’s grasping hands. A chance gone for Wales...

Wales 0-6 Italy, 19 minutes

Back to the corner, then, and this time Italy infringe in their maul stalling efforts, lifting a leg. Dan Biggar hopes it is third time lucky with another corner-ward poke for a five-metre lineout.
