England is the 2016 European Six Nations champion, but must win again in Paris next Saturday to take the biggest prize: the Grand Slam.
England’s players won the title while watching their televisions on Sunday as they saw France, the last team with a chance to catch them, lose, 29-18, to Scotland in Edinburgh. It is its 27th championship, breaking its tie with Wales (26) at the top of the all-time standings.
It was also England’s second trophy in 24 hours, since a 25-21 against Wales here at Twickenham on Saturday had completed the Triple Crown — victories over the other three British and Irish nations.
