Ibanez reveals French agony before last gasp ecstasy

RAPHAEL IBANEZ went through the whole range of emotions in the final heart-stopping minutes of France’s dramatic 46-19 success over Scotland, which clinched yet another RBS 6 Nations Championship title.

Twenty-five points ahead with four minutes remaining, Les Bleus — who needed to win by at least 24 to overtake Ireland on points difference in the title race — conceded a try to Scotland lock Euan Murray.

Ibanez, the inspirational captain and experienced figurehead in the French team, could see his side’s crown being snatched away from them.
