Scotland snatch win at the death to claim first win in France in over 20 years




Scotland left it late but they claimed their first win in France in over 20 years.

In a match that France needed a bonus point win and a 21 point difference, it was Scotland who came out on top with 27-23 win in the Stade de France.

Scotland who were down to 14 men claimed victory with a Hastings try in the 84th minute after France foolishly tried to play from the back with the clock in the red.

Although France pretty much needed a miracle to claim the title, it was a determined and resolute Scotland who came out on top to claim the spoils.

The Scotland victory means Wales claimed the Six Nations title with a comfortable four point gap at the top of the table.

Scores as follows:

France 23

Tries: Dulin (36), Penaud (46), Rebbadj (65)
Conversions: Ntamack (37)
Penalties: Ntamack (9,28)

Scotland 27

Tries: Van Der Merwe (14,80), Cherry (61)
Conversions: Russell (14,62), Hastings (80)
Penalties: Russell (19,53)
