PARIS (Reuters) -France claimed their seventh Six Nations trophy in a record-strewn 35-16 victory over Scotland on Saturday, shaking off their beautiful runners-up tag on a crisp evening at the Stade de France.

Les Bleus matched England's number of titles since Italy joined the championship in 2000 and did so in style, scoring 30 tries in a pulsating campaign to make sure they would not end up runners-up for the fifth time in six years.
