England`s thrilling 26-25 victory over France revives their Six Nations hopes, highlighted by Elliot Daly`s late try.

England`s rugby team achieved a dramatic 26-25 victory over France at the Allianz Stadium, formerly known as Twickenham. The match showcased a late try from Elliot Daly, followed by a crucial conversion from Fin Smith, reigniting England`s hopes in the 2025 Six Nations Championship after previous setbacks against elite teams.

The French side faced criticism for their lack of focus and missed opportunities, which proved costly in this tightly contested match. England`s win comes on the heels of a disappointing defeat to Italy in the Cuttitta Cup, where they lost 31-19 at Murrayfield. However, Italy has since demonstrated resilience, defeating Wales 22-15 in Rome, marking their second consecutive win over the Welsh team.

Looking ahead, England is set to host Italy on Sunday, March 9, at the Allianz Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 3pm (GMT). The match will be officiated by Andrew Brace from Ireland, with support from Craig Evans and Luc Ramos. The atmosphere during the France match was electric, especially in the final moments, as England`s performance hinted at a resurgence at their home ground.

Despite the victory, the world rankings remain unchanged, with South Africa leading the pack, followed by Ireland, New Zealand, France, and Argentina. England`s triumph over France is a pivotal moment, potentially restoring Twickenham`s reputation as a formidable venue for visiting teams.
