11-try France beat Scotland to set up England decider

France run in 11 tries to sweep Scotland aside and earn the bonus-point win that sets up a final day showdown with England next weekend.

France delivered a stunning 11-try performance to dismantle Scotland in the Women's Six Nations, setting up a blockbuster final-day showdown with England for the championship title next weekend.

The visitors were unstoppable from the opening whistle, racing into a 31-14 halftime lead thanks to tries from Manae Feleu, Carla Arbez, Siobhan Soqeta, and a double from Lea Champon. Scotland showed heart early on, with Rachel Phillips crossing for a try on her first Test start to briefly give the home side the lead, but France's power and precision proved too much to handle.

The second half was more of the same, as Pauline Barrat, Soqeta (her second), Alexandra Chambon, Lea Murie, Annaelle Deshayes, and Ambre Mwayembe all added their names to the scoresheet. Scotland fought valiantly, with Emily Coubrough and Aicha Sutcliffe touching down to secure a four-try bonus point in defeat, but they were ultimately swept aside by a French side firing on all cylinders.

This result means France now head into a winner-takes-all clash with England in Bordeaux next Sunday, with the championship trophy on the line. For Scotland, it's back to the drawing board as they travel to Dublin to face Ireland, hoping to rebound from their third consecutive loss.

With the title race coming down to the wire, rugby fans are in for a thrilling finale—and if you're gearing up to support your team, make sure you're kitted out in the latest Six Nations gear to show your pride on the big day.
