France have played some very good rugby this tournament and deserve to win, but it’s a shame when the referee and his team end up overshadowing the game with some poor decision making.
Ed, Marseille
Despite the usual bluster about this being the best ever Scotland squad they are going to finish fourth. This happens year after year and they avoid the heavy criticism other teams get for poor results.

Johnnie Beattie Former Scotland back row on ITV
A lot of my team-mates in the past found the French set-up a chore. They were not fun to watch.
But this generation, typified by Antoine Dupont, are a really tight-knit squad and play great rugby.
There was a power struggle between the clubs and union which is better now than ever. There are more young French kids playing in the Top 14 league, winning U20s championships and converting that to Test level.

France centre and player of the match Yoram Moefana tells ITV: "It was a very tough game, Scotland is a big team and I want to say thank you to the team because we were fighting with Scotland from start to finish. It's amazing.
"We are happy on the field and play our game. We want to take the pressure and go for tries.
"It's so bad for Antoine he was injured, but we wanted to fight in this game for him. We did, and we are so happy."

Delighted for France as a Scotland fan. Feel they fully deserve a Six Nations, they play fantastic rugby, and it's brilliant for the game. Still mixed feelings about the game - Scotland were exciting, but same old Scotland - no end product.

France 35-16 Scotland
France are the 2025 Six Nations champions.
Scotland held their own in the first half, but France proved too strong after the break and take the crown ahead of England, who hammered Wales earlier today.
They'll be dancing on the streets of Paris tonight.

Peter Wright Former Scotland prop on Sportsound
If Scotland could get a score to finish the half off, it would give them a bit of reward. They've attacked consistently, lacked some sharpness because they're fatigued.
France's defence has been solid.
It's been pretty similar to the England game. After four or five phases, we can't break the physical teams down.

Jim Hamilton Former Scotland lock on ITV
Scotland have looked brilliant in attack at times, but the conversion rate has been a big problem, the physicality when Scotland get close to the line.
Scotland are a really exciting team but this is France's night.

The referee has just said: "Do you want to play without me?" I know what I'd have said.
I don't know if anyone would say anything, because you'd be frightened to have a bit of banter with him. He goes from being deadly serious to trying to banter.
