France edged out England 48-46 in a 13-try thriller in Paris to clinch Six Nations glory in dramatic fashion.

Ireland's win over Scotland earlier on Saturday propelled Andy Farrell's team to the top of the standings.

However, the permutations remained the same for Les Bleues, who knew victory would be enough to secure the title.

Yet England thought they had snatched victory when Tommy Freeman went over with four minutes left.

Thomas Ramos, though, stepped up to be France's hero, nailing a penalty after time was up to secure the most dramatic of victories.

England gave a fantastic account of themselves at the Stade de France, where Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored four tries for the hosts.

4 - Louis Bielle-Biarrey is the second player to score 4 tries in a #M6N match (also Chris Ashton v , 2011); he's finished this year's Championship with 9 tries, the most of anyone in a single edition, and has become France's top tryscorer in the Six Nations era (18).

Tom Roebuck, Cadan Murley, Ollie Chessum, who went over twice, Alex Coles and Marcus Smith also got on the scoresheet for England, alongside Freeman, while Fin Smith turned in a sharp display with the boot. 

France benefited from a penalty try, with Theo Attissogbe also crossing, though it was pinpoint kicker Ramos who ultimately delivered a fitting end to a thrilling tournament.

Wales finished bottom of the standings, but did at least cap off their campaign with a 31-17 win over Italy in Cardiff.

Data Debrief: Bielle-Biarrey makes history

At the age of 22, it really is a case of the sky being the limit for Bielle-Biarrey.

He became just the second man, after Chris Ashton (v Italy in 2011), to score four tries in a Six Nations match. In doing so, he took his tally for this year's edition to nine, a new tournament record, overtaking the eight he managed last year.

Bielle-Biarrey is also now France's top try scorer in the Six Nations era (18).

This marks France's eighth title since the Five Nations became the Six Nations when Italy joined in 2000, more than any other nation, surpassing England's seven.
