France vs Scotland: Les Bleus find their form to record first victory of Six Nations campaign

Re-live all the action from the Stade de France

France vs Scotland: Six Nations preview

Scotland's Six Nations campaign has been reduced to an exercise in damage limitation after failing to end their two-decade wait for a win in Paris.

France secured a 27-10 bonus-point win with tries from Romain Ntamack, Yoahn Huget and a late Gregory Alldritt brace as the injury-hit Dark Blues contributed to their own downfall for the second game running.

Defeat to Ireland a fortnight ago was also self-inflicted and now Gregor Townsend's men are left with two games against Wales and England - the world's number four and three ranked sides - to salvage some pride from a Championship that has so far produced only a win over whipping boys Italy.

Townsend has had to contend with a horror casualty list this campaign but the loss of Scotland's three most dangerous weapons in Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg and Huw Jones was felt as they struggled for attacking inspiration.

Ali Price's late score was mere consolation, while France had four tries chalked off as Scotland escaped an even more chastening afternoon.

POSSIBLE TRY? France 15-3 Scotland, 73 minutes

France come now, Romain Ntamack threading behind the defence, and there's huge pressure as Scotland scramble to recover.

France drive the carrier back behind the line, and there's no offside lines wants the ball crosses the try line.

Jamie Ritchie may have grounded the ball before a French player jumped over the ruck to ground it.

The TMO is checking. On field decision is try...

[23 February 2019 16:00 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

NO TRY! 

Jamie Ritchie just about had enough downward pressure on the ball for Rowan Kitt to rule he grounded it. A tight one - Gael Fickou was convinced of the score.

A France five-metre scrum nonetheless. Further points here may kill the game...

[23 February 2019 16:02 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

France 15-3 Scotland, 75 minutes

Zander Fagerson is only just back from a serious ankle injury, and France put him under serious pressure.

And on they come strongly, Scotland are being driven over...

[23 February 2019 16:03 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

TRY! France 20-3 Scotland (Gregory Alldritt, 74 minutes)

Controlled at the base by Gregory Alldritt, and the young La Rochelle back-rower flops over for his first test try!

Sheer power from the replacement French front row, Etienne Falgoux's first real debut involvement to munch Fagerson over his own line (though the angle of his drive could perhaps be queried)

The conversion is missed by Baptiste Serin.

[23 February 2019 16:04 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Romain Ntamack has enjoyed his first start at 10 in a French jersey.

Anthony Belleau replaces him.

[23 February 2019 16:05 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

TRY! France 20-10 Scotland (Ali Price, 78 minutes)

Scotland recover from the kick-off and Ali Price is over!

A fantastic restart again from Blair Kinghorn allows Scotland to regather, and Pete Horne spots a gap inside Mathieu Bastareaud, holds him with a dummy and steps through it.

Ali Price runs the classic support line of a try-sniffing scrum-half, and canters over under the posts.

The extras are added from right in front.

Real chance of a bonus point now...

[23 February 2019 16:07 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

France 20-10 Scotland, 80 minutes

Clever chip from Adam Hastings, and Scotland claim it.

Gary Graham of Newcastle carries impressively twice. Into the French 22.

Fagerson mows over a French defender, but the home side's line is reformed well and they drive the next carrier backwards.

[23 February 2019 16:08 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

France 20-10 Scotland, 81 minutes

Further carrying from Gary Graham to regenerate momentum, onwards to namesake Darcy, who is head up somewhat in the tackle but Scotland retain possession.

Alex Allan slips, but the ball remains in Scottish hands.

[23 February 2019 16:09 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

France 20-10 Scotland, 82 minutes

Healthy collision between Yoann Huget and Gary Graham, the French winger winning this one, and Dorian Aldegheri latches on over the ball.

France penalty, and that will be it...

Or will it! France miss touch...

[23 February 2019 16:11 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

France 20-10 Scotland, 83 minutes

Darcy Graham rifles through a gap and into the French half again, but Paul Willemse absolutely monsters him to the floor.

Scotland lose the ball! France are now seeking their own bonus point, and Scotland transgress at ruck time.

Anthony Belleau just about finds the corner. France lineout five metres from the Scottish try line.
