France 25-13 England: Les Bleus claim first Grand Slam in 12 years

France claimed their first Grand Slam in 12 years with a conclusive 25-13 victory over England in Paris in the 2022 Six Nations finale.

Eddie Jones' men were outscored 3-1 on the try count as they slumped to their third defeat of the Six Nations, an inglorious finish which has now been completed three times in five years. The battling nature of the performance will spare Eddie Jones the harshest criticism, but another failed Championship places his position as head coach under renewed scrutiny with the World Cup just 18 months away.

None of the French players had experienced a Grand Slam game before now, but head coach Fabien Galthie had led France to a Grand Slam in 2002 and Shaun Edwards won three as a coach with Wales before moving to France after the 2019 World Cup.
