However, Ramos, from long distance, found the posts in the final act of the championship, securing a 48-46 victory.\n\nSteve Borthwick&#8217;s team was transformed, showcasing a revitalized attack and scoring seven tries. Ollie Chessum, with two scores, was a standout figure.\n\nThe English pack demonstrated its power, surpassing France in the lead, with Chessum, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge and Joe Heyes as leaders.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2026%2F0314%2Fr1628449_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Louis Bielle-Biarrey anot\u00f3 cuatro tries en un emocionante partido en Par\u00eds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nEngland suffered the eighth yellow card of the tournament, shown to Genge, and the excellent finish by Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who scored four times.\n\nThis performance was crucial for Borthwick, who was seeking to convince the Rugby Football Union of his continued role as coach, just a week after England&#8217;s historic defeat to Italy.\n\nThe spectacle was marred by the decision to allow France to play in a light blue commemorative uniform for the 120th anniversary of &#8220;Le Crunch&#8221;, which created a clash of colors with England&#8217;s white jerseys.\n\nIreland&#8217;s victory over Scotland, which kicked off &#8220;Super Saturday&#8221;, put France in a position to win in Paris to retain the crown. The first half of the match was very contested.\n\nBielle-Biarrey scored the first of his two tries after receiving a pass from Ramos at six minutes, but England responded with determination.\n\nAttacking from both wings, Elliot Daly assisted Tom Roebuck for a deserved try.\n\nThe first half was a constant exchange of tries, with Bielle-Biarrey as the main threat to the hosts.\n\nMatthieu Jalibert assisted for Bielle-Biarrey&#8217;s second try, but England responded immediately with Cadan Murley, who took advantage of a pass from Ben Spencer.\n\nBorthwick celebrated the try by hitting his desk.\n\nEngland&#8217;s pack began to show its strength, with the maul becoming an effective weapon, culminating in a try by Chessum.\n\nThe forwards combined in attack, with Chessum assisting Alex Coles and Spencer involved, exploiting the space on the blind side.\n\nEngland&#8217;s 10-point lead vanished in first-half added time when referee Nika Amashukeli penalized Genge with a yellow card and a penalty try.\n\nBielle-Biarrey completed his hat-trick at the start of the second half, and Attissogbe scored after receiving a long pass from Antoine Dupont.\n\nChessum intercepted for a try, and the pressure generated space for Marcus Smith to score in his 50th match.\n\nEngland received a try from Bielle-Biarrey, but after the yellow card to Demba Bamba, took the opportunity with Freeman, before Ramos secured the title with the winning penalty.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England Unleashes, But France Takes the Title in a Dramatic Finale England offered their best performance in the Six Nations, but it wasn&#8217;t enough to prevent Thomas Ramos, with a penalty at the last gasp, from giving the victory to France and celebrating the title.
