"Scotland put themselves in contention for a first-ever Six Nations title with a sensational seven-try 50-40 victory over France at Murrayfield. Les Bleus arrived in Edinburgh knowing a bonus-point win over Gregor Townsend's men would have sealed them a second consecutive championship and teed them up for a first grand slam since 2022. But it was the rampant Scots who produced one of their greatest-ever performances to blow Fabien Galthie's team away."
"Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn both scored doubles, while Pierre Schoeman, Ben White and substitute Tom Jordan also crossed. The only blemish for the Scots, who led 47-14 at one point, was that they allowed the French to score four tries in the final quarter of an hour to make the scoreline more respectable."
