Fin Baxter and England’s Dramatic Six Nations Triumph
What a match! If you didn’t catch England’s heart-stopping Six Nations victory over France, you missed an absolute classic. It was a game that had everything—chaos, drama, last-minute heroics, and a young squad proving their mettle on the biggest stage. And right at the heart of it? Fin Baxter and Fin Smith, two rising stars who delivered when it mattered most.
Picture this: Twickenham, packed with 81,000 roaring fans, pulsating with energy. England, battling through a tough game, clinging to hope in the final minutes. France had been dangerous all night, but a few costly handling errors gave England just enough room to stay in the fight. Then, in the dying moments, England struck gold.

Fin Baxter, the young prop, powered over the line for a crucial try, sending the stadium into a frenzy. And then came the defining moment—Fin Smith, only 22, stepping up to take the decisive conversion. Pressure? Immense. A packed stadium, the weight of a nation, and a Six Nations victory on the line. But Smith, bloody, bruised, and composed beyond his years, slotted it through. Twickenham erupted. England had done it.
It wasn’t just about the scoreline; it was about resilience. After six losses in their last seven Tests, England desperately needed this. The critics had been loud, questioning their form, their tactics, even their squad selection. But this victory—sealed with grit, heart, and a touch of brilliance—sent a clear message: England is still very much in the fight.
Steve Borthwick’s gamble on youth paid off big time. Fin Smith, growing in confidence after a shaky start, orchestrated the attack with composure. Maro Itoje and Tom Curry led from the front, rallying their team in crunch moments. And then there was Baxter—young, fearless, and seizing his moment in rugby history.
Of course, for France, this one will sting. They dominated possession, looked dangerous in attack, but costly mistakes let England slip through their fingers. Antoine Dupont and Thomas Ramos expressed their frustration post-match, knowing they had the game in their hands but failed to close it out.
For England, though, this is a win to savor. The rest of the Six Nations will be watching. With Scotland up next, England has a real chance to build momentum. And if Fin Baxter, Fin Smith, and the rest of this squad keep delivering, who knows? Maybe this could be the start of something special.
