France wins back-to-back Six Nations titles after beating England 48-46 on
last-second penalty
PARIS (AP) --- France won back-to-back Six Nations titles after beating England
48-46 on a last-second penalty kick by Thomas Ramos in a thriller for the ages
on Saturday.
England scored its seventh try in the 77th minute and converted for 46-45. If
the score held for a few more minutes, Ireland would have been crowned the
champion.
But France pressed yet again, lost possession, regained it, and earned two
penalties after the fulltime siren. Captain Antoine Dupont debated with referee
Nika Amashukeli where the penalty sports were and Ramos, who didn't miss a
goalkick all night, finally lined up a shot from more than 40 meters out.
He nailed it and leaped into the arms of teammates, back-to-back champions for
the first time in 19 years.
