Scotland v France highlights: Six Nations score and updates as visitors hold on to win in thrilling end

Magnifique!

Sumptuous from Louis Bielle-Biarrey! What a talent this young wing wonder is!

Nolann Le Garrec deserves some credit for a fabulous flat pass to put Bielle-Biarrey on the outside, but it’s all about the finish from the wing. He gathers and eats up the ground, tightroping the touchline and then dropping on to his toe, judging his chip and chase perfectly. Harry Paterson is helpless as Bielle-Biarrey accelerates away, grounding from his knees and putting France within kicking distance of the lead.

Can Thomas Ramos take it from the tee? He can - France go in front!

Damian Penaud covers as Finn Russell chips, an apparent forward fumble ruled sideways by the officials. Back into a kicking exchange, each side attempting to drag the other out of shape.

France end it with an attacking adventure, Yoram Moefana offloading to no-one in particular but Grant Gilchrist’s hurried flick between the legs not the steadying act required for Scotland. Finn Russell thumps the loose ball into Pierre Schoeman’s paunch - accidental offside, France’s scrum.

A loose pass skids towards Duhan van der Merwe with Gael Fickou riding the slip-and-slide after it, a strange taking of man-and-ball from the centre as he uproots the big Scotland wing. Fickou is penalised, perhaps for the hands on the floor he seemed to use to secure the ball after Van der Merwe came to deck.

Scotland advance up the left touchline.

Into a period of kick tennis, Harry Paterson heavily involved before his co-captain Russell settles things down, catching and pausing to not allow the waiting French defensive line to advance. He eventually kicks to touch...and France throw it quickly.

That’s not Finn Russell’s best - the goalline drop out lands in his hands and he launches for goal, the drop kick of appropriate oomph but misdirected.

So nearly a 50:22 from Finn Russell, a timely sidewards hop saving Matthieu Jalibert from a fruitless pursuit and allowing him a more leisurely grounding in-goal.

Yoram Moefana is introduced to try and spark France into life.

What can France produce in this final 20 minutes? You feel like they need Matthieu Jalibert to take hold of the contest, with a young nine inside him and the visiting attack yet to really click today.

Finn Russell has three more points.

The Scottish scrum gets on top, too - penalty advantage with which to work. Harry Patterson and Duhan van der Merwe do some wide wandering, and then it’s over to Finn Russell to pull the strings, picking his runners, searching for space. Huw Jones skips by one tackler but not the second...and with Scotland in retreat, Nic Berry’s whistle brings everyone to a halt.

Finn Russell will look to extend Scotland’s advantage.

And Murrayfield roars as back-to-back French knock-ons allow their side to advance into the France half. The French coaching box throw their hands about in frustration - those are handling errors eight and nine of the day for the visitors, now absent their captain.
