Six Nations: France beat England to sweep to Grand Slam
France strutted to a first Grand Slam in 12 years as they ran in three tries to comfortably see off England in front of a jubilant Stade de France.
England's Freddie Steward, deployed on the wing, stepped and swooped to score after Joe Marchant's break after the interval.France captain Antoine Dupont darted under the sticks soon and the hosts played out the final 10 minutes in comfort as their fans started the party. Gregory Alldritt's kick to the stands moments later was the signal for his team to drop to their knees and savour a clean sweep that has been brewing for the last couple of campaigns.
France were superior in every area. Stronger up front, more accurate in the backs, tighter in defence, more clinical in attack.
