Daly's Last-Minute Try Seals Thrilling Victory for England Over France in Six Nations Clash
Elliot Daly’s dramatic late try secured a thrilling 26-25 victory for England over France in a Six Nations classic at Twickenham. The match, played on 8 February 2025, saw England outscore France four tries to three, with Daly’s decisive score coming in the dying moments of the game. The victory marked a crucial win for Steve Borthwick’s side, who had struggled to maintain intensity in previous matches.
France started strongly, with Louis Bielle-Biarrey scoring the opening try, but England responded through Ollie Lawrence to level the scores at half-time. The second half was a rollercoaster, with France regaining the lead through tries from Damien Penaud and Bielle-Biarrey, while England’s Finn Baxter and Tommy Freeman kept the hosts in contention. A missed penalty by Marcus Smith added to the tension, but Daly’s late heroics sealed the win for England.
England’s Fin Smith, named player of the match, played a pivotal role in marshalling the attack, while France’s Antoine Dupont had an uncharacteristically poor game, particularly in his decision-making. The result leaves England in a strong position in the tournament, while France will rue missed opportunities to close out the game.
