Sublime Scotland shatter France’s grand slam dreams on greatest Six Nations day
Scotland enjoyed perhaps their greatest Six Nations day as they shattered France’s grand slam dreams to throw the championship wide open.
The hosts were simply sublime in a remarkable 50-40 victory at Murrayfield, and will go to Dublin to face Ireland on the final day with a shot at the title.
There were seven tries in all from Gregor Townsend’s side, putting a previously unbeaten team most definitively to the sword with a scintillating display of attacking rugby.
Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn helped themselves to two tries apiece, with Finn Russell orchestrating matters superbly from fly half as the Scots crossed 50 against France for the first time.

Jalibert with the line break, bursting through a gap and he offloads to Thomas Ramos in support for one final score under the sticks. Phew! Easy conversion to round things off

TRY! Scotland 50-33 FRANCE (Oscar Jegou, 79 minutes)
Still time for another French try from the claimed kick-off! Gorgeous hands in the 22, Bielle-Biarrey flipping the ball out of the tackle to Oscar Jegou on the left flank who gets round the outside and dots down for the score.
Josh Bayliss sent to the sin-bin for a foul in the build-up for good measure.

PENALTY! SCOTLAND 50-26 France (Finn Russell, 78 minutes)
It takes a minute off the clock AND brings up the half-century of points for Scotland against France for the very first time. So Finn Russell slots the three. He’s seven from eight from the tee.
