Scotland delivered a dominant performance, defeating France 50-40 in Edinburgh on Saturday. Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn each scored two tries, contributing to a pulsating bonus-point victory that keeps the Six Nations Championship title race open until the final round.
Prop Pierre Schoeman and scrumhalf Ben White also crossed for tries as Scotland's high-tempo game overwhelmed the French in the Edinburgh sunshine. This marked Scotland's highest-ever points tally against France.
Despite the defeat, France secured a try-scoring bonus-point, placing them at the top of the table on points difference, level with Scotland. Both teams have 16 points from five games, with Ireland still in contention with 14 points.
France's tries came from wings Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Theo Attissogbe, scrumhalf Antoine Dupont, fullback Thomas Ramos (two), and flanker Oscar Jegou. However, coach Fabien Galthie faces concerns over the team's discipline, evidenced by two yellow cards and a late-game falter under pressure.
