Ireland denied as Ramos wins the Six Nations for France with the last kick of game against England – The Irish Times

France have won the Six Nations with the last kick of the game in one of the greatest rugby games ever seen at the Stade de France.

Ireland would have won the Six Nations had France lost the game, and England led 46-45 in a remarkable contest before France won a penalty just past halfway, which was expertly converted under immense pressure by Thomas Ramos.

Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored four tries in a whirlwind match where the lead exchanged hands several times.

Ireland finish second in the table, two points behind France.
