France claimed their first Grand Slam and championship title in the Six Nations since 2010 as they beat England 25-13 on Saturday after passing a test of nerves in a contest they largely dominated at a packed Stade de France.

"We're pretty disappointed, we had them in fitness but we failed to capitalise but that's on us," he said. "I thought there were points where we had them but it wasn't to be, we didn't deliver." After 15 minutes, however, Cameron Woki drew several defenders as Les Bleus piled on the pressure near the line, leaving Fickou unmarked on the right wing.
