It was the sixth year in a row that the Red Roses have lifted the trophy.

It was also their third consecutive Grand Slam - which means they didn't lose a single match in the tournament.

The result means that England extend their championship winning record to 29 games and coach John Mitchell remains unbeaten since taking charge last autumn.

France were only one point behind England in the table going into the match - so it all came down to this game to see who was going to lift the trophy.

The Red Roses ran in five tries to secure a 35-14 half-time lead in Bordeaux, with Alex Matthews adding her second try in the second half to help England on their way to a huge win.

After the game, England captain Marlie Packer said she was "super proud of all the girls."

She added: "It means everything, but I am lifting it with the girls I am not on my own."

Ireland vs Scotland

Ireland beat Scotland 15-12 to finish third and secure automatic qualification for next year's World Cup.

It was a close match with Dannah O'Brien's late penalty making the difference as Ireland ensured progression to next year's tournament in England after missing out on the last World Cup.

Ireland's Brittany Hogan said the win meant "so much" to the team.

She explained: "I'm so happy. We've come through so much as a group, every single one of us, players, backroom staff, those that aren't here, fans."

Scotland finished fourth in the table.

Wales vs Italy

Wales secured a dramatic 22-20 win over Italy in the final moments of their Six Nations match in Cardiff in front of a record home crowd.

Sisilia Tuipulotu's try levelled the scores two minutes from time, with Lleucu George slotting over the winning kick.

It was the first time that Wales had beaten Italy at home since 2012.

However, it was not enough for Wales to avoid finishing bottom of the table - and ending up with the wooden spoon.

Italy finished the tournament in fifth place.
