France beat Scotland in a huge Six Nations clash this afternoon.
The Scots travelled to Paris in a massive test of their Six Nations title credentials - having opened the tournament with back-to-back wins for the first time in the Six Nations era. Gregor Townsend’s side were victorious on their last trip to the Stade de France two years ago, but Scotland have not won consecutive games in Paris since 1928.
Les Bleus were looking to respond to their defeat to title rivals Ireland last time out. The defending champions were beaten in a thriller in Dublin and another defeat here for France would surely be a fatal blow to their hopes of retaining their Six Nations crown.
Both teams had players sent off in the opening minutes and it was France who raced into 22-7 lead at half-time, and they withstood a stirring comeback from Scotland to clinch a 32-21 victory.
