A disastrous opening 20 minutes ultimately proved costly for Scotland as their perfect start to the Six Nations campaign came to an end with a 32-21 defeat by France in Paris.
Gregor Townsend's side were ripped apart early on as the hosts raced into a 19-0 lead through tries from Romain Ntamack, Ethan Dumortier and Thomas Ramos. This frenetic period also included red cards for Scotland's Grant Gilchrist and France's Mohamed Haouas.
