Six Nations 2026 Finale | France Win With the Last Kick vs England & Stuart McCloskey

🎙️ France Win Six Nations With the Last Kick | England Baffling & Stuart McCloskey Exclusive

The final round of the 2026 Six Nations delivered extraordinary drama as France beat England to win the championship with the last kick, and Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey joins Maul or Nothing to take us inside the Ireland camp.

We break down France vs England, Ireland vs Scotland and Wales vs Italy from the decisive final weekend of the Six Nations 2026, as the championship came down to the final moments.

🇫🇷 France vs England — Championship Decider

France held their nerve when the pressure was highest.

⭐ Louis Bielle-Biarrey continues his incredible try-scoring run

🎯 Thomas Ramos lands the kick that wins the entire Six Nations

But England delivered a performance that perfectly summed up their tournament:

Brilliant… and utterly baffling.

Despite losing four matches in the championship — something England hadn’t done since 1976 — they pushed France all the way.

Big talking points:

•⁠ ⁠🟨 Was the yellow card and penalty try correct?

•⁠ ⁠🏃 Ollie Chessum’s intercept — should he have gone closer to the posts?

•⁠ ⁠🎬 Henry Pollock’s Hollywood offload moment

•⁠ ⁠🦶 England kicking possession away with 90 seconds left while leading

Is this England side actually building toward something… or stuck in a strange paradox?
