In Rugby, England have won their first 6-nation Grand Slam in 13 years after holding out to secure a historic victory over France in Paris. First half tries from Danny Care and Dan Cole had given them a five point half time lead, only for the relentless penalty precision of Maxime Machenaud to keep France within touching distance. But yet another try from Anthony Watson calmed rising nerves before a brace of late penalties from Owen Farrell allowed the travelling support to sing their heroes home. It marks a remarkable turnaround for new head coach Eddie Jones, coming just six months after the humiliation of a home World Cup exit at the group stages before he took control. England had been confirmed as Six Nations champions last weekend, after beating Wales and France subsequently.
