"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."
"The try was Graham's 36th at Test level, edging him ahead of Edinburgh team-mate Duhan van der Merwe at the top of the national team's all-time scoring charts. It was the first time France had found themselves behind on the scoreboard in this year's championship."
"The French remain top of the table on points difference ahead of their showdown with England in Paris next Saturday night, but the second-placed Scots will head to Ireland with a chance of making history if Steve Borthwick's men can do them a favour."
