PARIS — France has seen off a resilient Scotland 35-16 and clinched the Six Nations title with a tournament-try record in Paris. Coach Fabien Galthié's side needed only a victory at chilly Stade de France to ensure a first title since 2022 on Saturday. The bonus-point win helped Les Tricolores finish one point above England. The French scored four tries to set a tournament record with 30. The final score was far more comfortable than the first half. Rash French indiscipline led to two sin-bins and one of those could have been a red for a lunging headbutt. Scotland started the second half only 16-13 down but managed only a penalty.
