The curtain came down on the 2025 Six Nations in Paris on Saturday night where Scotland’s 35-16 defeat saw them finish fourth for the fifth time in six seasons.
The win gave France the title, with Fabien Galthie’s side finishing one point ahead of England, and two in front of Ireland. Italy were fifth and Wales picked up the wooden spoon for the second season running.
Scotland opened their campaign with a 31-19 home victory over Italy but then lost heavily at Murrayfield to Ireland, 32-18, and agonisingly to England at Twickenham, 16-15. They bounced back to defeat Wales in Edinburgh 35-29.
Gregor Townsend’s side scored 16 tries across the campaign and conceded 14.
