That's all from us this evening, as France beat Scotland to claim the 2025 Six Nations title.

England's record-breaking 10-try win against Wales put pressure on France to deliver in the final game of the day, but they delivered in fine style at Stade de France.

For Gregor Townsend's Scotland, they are left to lick their wounds once again after a fourth-placed finish.

Thanks for your company this evening and throughout the tournament - goodnight.

A reminder, in case you missed it earlier, that Louis Bielle-Biarrey's try against Scotland saw him break a try-scoring record for the Six Nations era.

The 21-year-old, who dotted down in every game, broke Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale's record of seven tries in one tournament from 2018.

How good was this man tonight?

Yoram Moefana has been one of the stars of the championship, his ultra-aggressive defence in the less familiar inside centre berth melded to devastating explosive power on attack.

Moefana was actually born in New Caledonia, the French territory in the South Pacific. He left home aged just 13 to pursue his rugby dreams in France, and actually wound up playing club and international matches with his uncle, Sipili Falatea.

He's been remarkably effective this year - and he's only 24.

Shaun Edwards has some coaching record.

Not only was he an absurdly decorated rugby league player, he's just become the first coach to stick half a dozen Six Nations titles on his CV.

Having claimed four with Wales, this is his second as part of Fabien Galthie's French set-up.

And it's all the more special given tonight was his 250th rugby union international.

Chapeau, Shaun.

There's a degree of painful familiarity about this Scottish performance.

They were so dangerous - and so competitive - for long spells, but a failure to turn pressure into points, coupled with a ropey third quarter against a monster bench, did for them again.

Consistently inconsistent has been a theme this year too - and not for the first time.

Should Scotland expect more? Or are mid-table finishes their level?

Those wing berths on the Lions tour are going to be ferociously competitive.

England's Tommy Freeman has been superb this championship, completing a slam of tries earlier in Cardiff.

Ireland have Mack Hansen, James Lowe and Calvin Nash, all of whom will stake a claim.

Will Darcy Graham - or his beefy pal on the opposite wing, Duhan van der Merwe - make the plane?

The Hawick sprite was in scintillating form again tonight, bustling through for Scotland's try and making a number of telling interventions with and without the ball.

A three-point deficit at half-time was beyond where I thought Scotland would be. They went toe-to-toe with France in the first half.

Whether it was nerves, whether it was all part of the masterplan, I don't know. Their discipline was poor. Fabien Galthie looked livid. It seemed Scotland had gotten under their skin.

As feared, with the quality on France's bench, which came on early, they made an impact. The increase in intensity, their discipline sharpened right up. They became difficult to break down. Rarely were France stretched.

There will also be discourse surrounding this incident and the decision from the officials not to send off France hooker Peato Mauvaka.

Thumbs up if you think he should have seen red, thumbs down if you agree with the officials.

Take from this graphic what you will, but it shows Scotland's relative lack of progress in terms of results in this competition.

The reality of where Scotland are with the players at their disposal, or something beyond that?

I was pretty proud of the way Scotland played. They stuck at it, went out and tried to play the game that could have beaten France.

They had a go, moved the ball, played with width. Kinghorn had one of his best games. Van der Merwe and Graham looked dangerous.

Russell will get a lot of criticism for certain things, but I thought he played pretty well and gave Scotland a chance. He varied the game enough to try and hurt the French.

Ultimately, France are a better side. There are world-class players all over the pitch, they can bring real quality off the bench and that just adds to the tempo and physicality.

The cruel nature of our sport - if Finn Russell kicks his goals at Twickenham, and this game goes down to the wire for a championship, that changes the context.

Look at our player participation numbers, France have hundreds of thousands and we have around 20,000 adult players.

That is not something Scottish fans will want to hear but when you look at numbers, that is where we are.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend tells ITV he has "mixed feelings" after his side's defeat.

"We asked the players to deliver a performance of effort and physicality and they did that," Townsend says. "Our forwards played outstanding rugby at times, really fronted up.

"We didn't get the breaks, the bad luck before half-time [with a disallowed try] and then a mistake and they scored just after half-time. We were in that game for a lot of it.

"We were a bum cheek away from converting in the first half when Blair Kinghorn was just in touch and they are a very good defence. You need to have patience and accuracy and that was little bit missing today."

Townsend offers no opinion on Peato Mauvaka's sin binning, preferring to "leave that to others to decide." He adds: "These things can be decisive as we know. I am just proud the team fronted up tonight and even at the end to deny France another try, a maul try, they were very aggressive."

Asked if Scotland deserved to finish higher than fourth, he replies: "No, if we don't win when we have a lot of the game, that's where we are going to finish.

"It is a very tough competition. Teams can't play well every game no-one won a Grand Slam.

"We are a quality side, it just didn't go our way this year."

Louis Bielle-Biarrey's try at the start of the second half - his eighth of the tournament - proved a real turning point.

Scotland never wrestled back momentum from that point.

Chris Paterson
Former Scotland international on BBC Radio Scotland

A massive defensive effort from France. They were quite happy to allow us to have possession, they were quite wide in their defence.

We played with some fantastic endeavour and were quite sharp on the ball, but we couldn't break through, get in behind and really stress them.

Scotland played the right way, gave ourselves the best opportunity by keeping the ball alive, playing as quick as possible. It wasn't always accurate but it's the right way to go about it.

Confirmation of what we all know - France are champions.

Scotland finish fourth after three losses and two wins.

France defence coach Shaun Edwards savours a "special night for myself" as he celebrates his 250th rugby union international as a coach with silverware.

"The stars aligned for me tonight," Edwards tells ITV.

"We showed resilience in defence second half, when we only conceded three points.

"We defended really well against Ireland but kind of went off it for the last five minutes, but today we were on it for the full 80."

On try machine Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who scored his record-equalling eighth try of the championship, Edwards waxes: "Since the World Cup in 2023 he has gotten better and better, and hopefully he gets better again. He is a sensational athlete, a wonderful guy."

And he harbours no regrets about that error-strewn performance at Twickenham which might well have cost France a clean sweep.

"I feel just as happy as if it was a Grand Slam because it shows we had great resilience to come back from losing a game," Edwards says.

Galthie sprung the bench very early, and that changed the game. The power and control was awesome.

Scotland grew tired. They put an awful lot into the first half, played really well. But when that ferocity is coming at you for another 40 minutes, I don't know how you withstand that. Ireland couldn't.

Scotland put an awful lot into this game, really good in places. France are just better.

Lots of people keep referring to other people talking about how this is the best ever Scotland squad, but I don't know where that narrative comes from.

They have a wonderful backline, but don't have the pack to match and I think most Scotland fans acknowledge that.

Maybe I'm missing something...
