Six Nations 2022: France win men's title for first time in 12 years

France beat England 25-13 to lift their first title in 12 years

France have won this year's men's Six Nations rugby union tournament.

It's the first time the men's French team have won the title in 12 years and they secured a Grand Slam victory too - which means they didn't lose a single match this year!

They were crowned champions after beating England 25-13 in front of a home crowd at the Stade de France in Paris.

It was third time lucky for the French, having finished runners-up last year and in 2020.

Ireland won the Triple Crown this year as they finished the tournament as the best home nation team

Ireland finished second in the table, winning the 'Triple Crown' as the best home nation team.

The 'Triple Crown' is a special prize that only the four home unions - England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - are able to win.

A team can only win the triple crown if they beat all three of the other home sides.

It was also an important weekend for Italy, who stunned Wales with a last-minute 22-21 win in Cardiff to win their first men's Six Nations game in seven years.
