Scotland’s Six Nations Grand Slam hopes were ended as France secured a dramatic win in an enthralling match in Paris. Both sides had players red carded in the first 10 minutes and Scotland trailed 19-0 at one stage before roaring back to set up a frantic finale. But the French held on.
It means Ireland are the only side left chasing a Grand Slam, with France now level with Scotland and England on 10 points after two wins and a defeat. Shaun Edwards said Scotland were “top class”. That will be little consolation for the Scots but it shows how close they ran one of the world’s best sides close.
There will be no Grand Slam for Scotland but their meeting with Ireland at Murrayfield in two weeks still holds huge weight. Next up for France is a trip to Twickenham to face England. Follow France vs Scotland reaction in the Six Nations live below!
