France take title after winning high-scoring thriller against England

Wandering around the Stade de France two hours before kick-off, an England fan stopped to give his take to the BBC Sport live text.

His one-word answer to sum up England's Six Nations campaign was as accurate as Thomas Ramos' boot: "Confusing".

A 48-46 defeat, settled by a France penalty with the clock in the red, only adds to the riddle.

It was a ridiculous game of rugby, somehow trumping Scotland's 50-40 victory over France last weekend, with jeopardy, controversy and an ending that took everyone in the Stade de France to the edge of their seat and their wit's end.
