Rugby

Wales claimed their second Six Nations title in three years as France were beaten 27-23 at home by Scotland in the last game of the championship on Friday night.

Last Saturday, Wales were denied the Grand Slam after a 32-30 stoppage time defeat by Les Bleus and finish on top with 20 points.

France, who needed to win by 21 points with a bonus point to capture the championship, finished second with 16 points.

Scotland, who won in Paris for the first time since 1999, ended up fourth on 15 points after a game that had to be rescheduled following a COVID-19 outbreak within the French camp.

Ireland are third ahead of Scotland on points difference and England finish fifth on 10 points with Italy taking the wooden spoon having lost all their matches.
