France win Six Nations rugby championship again

France have won the 2026 Men's Six Nations Championship.

The competition is one of the biggest rugby union tournaments in the northern hemisphere and is also one of the oldest too - having been played in one form or another for more than 140 years.

It is the second year in a row that they have lifted the trophy, but it was far from easy.

Three teams could have been crowned champions as they went into the final set of matches - which is known as Super Saturday.

Before Super Saturday, France, Ireland and Scotland all had the chance to win the championship.

But who would actually go on to lift the trophy would be decided by a few different results.

Scotland lost to Ireland 43-21, meaning that Scotland's chances were done.

However it meant that Ireland were still in it and it came down to the final game of the tournament to see who would win - that game being France against England.

England travelled to Stade de France in the French capital of Paris for the final game of the tournament.

They didn't have a chance of claiming the title, but that didn't stop them pushing the reigning champions in a tense game that had a total of 13 tries.

But the final penalty kick of the game saw France beat England 48-46 to defend their title.

Meanwhile Wales managed to beat Italy 31-17, that's the first time they have won in the tournament since 2023.
