    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.

    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."

    Scotland played bravely once again. They moved the ball so well. Kinghorn is a star rising.

    They are going to have to work out how to execute closer to the line under pressure.

    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.

    Deserved champions. Tonight was a defensive masterclass from France.

    What an unbelievable occasion.

    Not vintage French rugby, but they did the work in the first half. They defended Scotland out of the game.

    What an unbelievable team.

    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.

    France want to finish with a flourish.

    They are deep in Scotland's 22 once more...

    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.

    To all the England fans hoping for a late great Scottish comeback, it's not happening.

    Three-and-a-half minutes left, and France have possession in Scotland's half.

    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.

    The players can't read him.

    France 35-16 Scotland

    Here's a stat for you.

    France's four tries this afternoon mean they have scored 30 in the championship, the most of any team ever, surpassing England's tally of 29 in 2001.

    Some team.
