Six Nations table: Final standings and results on Super Saturday
But Scotland quickly fell by the wayside after an exhausting 43-21 defeat by Ireland in Dublin, to leave France needing to beat England in the final game to clinch the title for a record eighth time.
It confirmed a worst-ever Six Nations showing from England, who lost four games in the same championship for the first time. However, the much improved manner of their attacking display at the Stade de France is likely to ease some of the pressure on head coach Steve Borthwick.
