Full time
What a test match.
It’s heartbreak for Scotland in the end as the ball is knocked on at the lineout. But some positives to take from the four tries and long spells of that match.
Both teams went for it in the second half and treated us to some excellent rugby.
Thanks for following the match centre! We’ll see you on the 26th as we host Georgia at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.
78
Penalty France
Frustration.
It’s deemed that Scotland collapse the scrum. Ramos will kick at goal from in front of the posts, 22 metres out.
80
France lead
Ramos is successful. France lead with a minute to go.
73
STEYN AGAIN!!!
We’re level!
Scotland have slightly more energy it would seem. A couple of kicks from each side, then Kinghorn breaks on the right. George Horne picks it up and grubbers for Steyn, who just stays infield and grounds it.
GAME ON!
80
Scotland penalty
Clock in the red, and Scotland get the penalty for a tackle off the ball.
It’s 60 metres out, so probably not kickable. It looks like Russell will kick for touch once Sutherland, the man on the receiving end of that tackle, has got some treatment.
71
Try saver from Smith!
It’s so end-to-end right now! Some tired bodies in the Saint-Etienne heat.
Finn Russell chips over the top, but France gather and Villiere sprints for the line.
Ollie Smith just gets to him, and he manages to dislodge the ball on the line! Fantastic defence.
Scotland will scrum down five metres out.
68
DARGE!
Scotland right back in this!
France attack from the kick off, but there’s a tackle off the ball and Scotland get the penalty.
Then another penalty is awarded to Scotland which is taken quickly, and a phase later Rory Darge crashes over!
Russell brings us to within five.
77
Mistakes from both sides
Both sides determined to win.
Scotland go first but lose it, and France get to our 22. But Russell causes a knock on, and we have the scrum.
62
DUHAN!
From very little, Scotland have the try.
Huw Jones makes the break on the left, and cuts inside before being brought down inches short.
But the ball is flung to the left from van der Merwe, who has space and time to dot down.
55
Incredible kick from Finn!
France get inches short before Ritchie makes another vital ruck turnover, giving Scotland the penalty.
Russell then hoofs it downfield where France are unprepared, and after two bounces it rolls out in their 22!
Scotland will go from there.
64
Last act for van der Merwe
Duhan pulls up in the act of scoring and comes off. Ollie Smith is on.
Scott Cummings also enters the fray for Richie Gray.
60
Another good touch-finder from Finn
France coming up hard in defence, and putting us under pressure.
Finn sees a gap on the right and finds touch just outside the 22.
57
Another home penalty
France’s counter-rucking has been very hot. This time it’s Villiere who steals it, and France exit to their own 10m line.
58
Forward pass
Both sides have a couple of kicks downfield, and then Scotland go from their own half.
But a forward pass gives France the scrum on the right.
59
Host of changes
George Horne, Stuart McInally, Rory Sutherland, Javan Sebastian and Sam Skinner have all come on.
They replace Ali Price, George Turner, Pierre Schoeman, WP Nel and Grant Gilchrist.
53
Kick through from Price
France defend well from the scrum, so Ali Price puts boot to ball.
He finds a gap on the left and it rolls out about six metres from France’s line.
54
France attack
Scotland go again but there’s another knock on, and Danty clears.
Duhan gathers but is bundled into touch in his own half, and Dupont takes a quick lineout.

TMO check…
France think they have another one here…
Penaud hacks forward on the right, and as two players dive for it and miss the winger dots down.
We’re going to see how the ball got to Penaud over the line…
51
Kicked dead
Scotland get the free kick from the scrum, and Russell hoofs it out.
Ramos takes the lineout quickly and returns it, but his kick rolls all the way out.

HT
Half time
Scotland steal the lineout and clear upfield, and France decide it’s time for a break.
France go in three in front.
HT
Steyn in it
After an excellent start for Scotland, France clawed their way back in front. The sin bin period ended for Ali Price just as that half ended, and Scotland conceded their only try of the half in that spell.
But this flying finish from Kyle Steyn means we’re very much still in this contest.
47
Flat ball?!
Kinghorn gathers the ball just inside his own 10m line, and just as he goes to throw the pass, he stops dead…
The referee stops play, because the ball has burst! We’ll find a new one and go again from a scrum.
40
Danty turnover
Scotland trying to just keep the ball and run down that sin bin period.
But Danty gets over the ball and France have another penalty, which they kick to just inside our 10m line.

Knock on

France’s lineout is inside our 22.
32
Ntamack gets France’s first try
From the scrum, Dupont runs from the base and finds Romain Ntamack, who squeezes between two defenders and over on the left side.
Ramos’ conversion gives them a lead of three.
28
Two France penalties and a yellow for Price
France win the penalty at a breakdown on the right side, and as Dupont goes quickly Ali Price tackles him from an offside position.
It’s deemed intentional, so Price will spend ten minutes in the bin.
37
Scotland penalty
An easier exit this time, Russell won’t have to try another box!
France are penalised at the breakdown. Russell gives Scotland the lineout on the edge of France’s 22 on the right.

13
Goal line dropout

A game that had everything, including one of Scotland’s heartiest performances yet, ends in disappointment for the visitors despite a last gasp try from Player of the Match, Kyle Steyn.
Scotland kicked off at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard through Blair Kinghorn, sending the match ball cleanly into France’s 22. Almost immediately, Dupont returned with a clearance kick to the half-way line, gifting Scotland a lineout.
George Turner and the rest of the forward pack delivered a perfect set piece with vice-captain Grant Gilchrist delivering the ball in the air. Beginning their first phase of attack, Scotland worked hard to keep the ball alive using the full width of the pitch from left to right.
In his quintessential style, Finn Russell shot a cross field kick down the park which was expertly gathered by Duhan van der Merwe before France were penalised by referee Nic Berry for being offside. Russell then sent the ball to the left corner for another lineout, this time within striking distance of the French try line.
With Scotland’s lineout firing on all cylinders, the forward pack followed up with brute force mauling their way to gain ground before safely getting the ball to the back line. The ball effortlessly found Huw Jones and Kinghorn. With rapid fire, he delivered the ball to winger Kyle Steyn, who went gliding into space and across the line. Finn Russell’s tight angle conversion sailed through the sticks (0-7, 5 mins).
Despite a well gathered restart, Scotland struggled with the exit with Pierre Schoeman penalised for holding on after a strong carry, a gift for France as play concluded within Scotland’s half. Thomas Ramos lined up to go for goal to get the hosts onto the board. It sailed through and the gap was narrowed. (3-7, 7 mins).
France’s attacking restart saw them try to run the ball up to Scotland, but a fantastic tackle by Sione Tuipulotu allowed skipper Jamie Ritchie to steal the ball at the ruck. With France caught kicking the ball in the ruck, Scotland were awarded the penalty allowing Russell to go for goal from inside the French 10-meter line, which ultimately concluded in Scotland’s lead being extended (3-10, 10 mins).
From the next restart, France piled on the pressure and a loose ball forced a penalty, taken by Dupont as he found touch on the full, for a line out. France made good ground from here with their maul, but just as they advanced on the half-way line, Turner showed off his defensive threat with a fantastic turnover in the ruck. With Russell identifying some space in the midfield, he sent the ball back into French territory. The force sent the ball long, gifting France a goal line drop out.
A succession of Scottish penalties followed. Ritchie Gray was firstly penalised for being in at the side as he rucked over Rory Darge who had carried well. France put foot to boot for a chance to strike inside Scotland’s half, and it was here that the Scotland skipper was deemed to be offside in the maul.
The hosts once again gained ground with a kick to the corner for another lineout, this time within much closer range of the try line. Despite Scotland’s defensive efforts, a further succession of errors including an early engage at the maul from vice-captain Grant Gilchrist allowed France to set up once more.
This time Scotland were successful, forcing a knock on for the first scrum of the match and Scotland’s opportunity to climb out of their half. It wasn’t to be, however.
With just 20 minutes gone, it felt like déjà vu with the forwards setting up for another line out. As France began to maul, rapid defensive efforts from Scotland saw them strip the ball from France’s clutches some three meters from the try line. But the elation was met with disappointment when Darge was penalised for being off his feet at the ruck. Despite their various attempts for a try, France then chose to take three in front of the sticks. Ramos added to his tally taking the score within four (6-10, 21 mins).
A fairly frantic 10 minutes soon followed with errors from both sides. Scotland’s pass was intercepted whilst the visitors had advantage, and it was once again time for a Scotland scrum.
It took some three scrums to see the next of the action begin. Strong work from Scotland, they began to find their footing inside French territory but the hosts won the turn over and took a quick tap and go. France thought they were away, but Price brought Dupont into touch. Unfortunately the scrum-half paid the price for his actions, deemed intentionally offside and sent to the sin-bin as a result.
France took the opportunity to send the ball deep into Scotland’s half for another line out. With just 10 minutes left on the clock for the first half, France were on the charge, working through multiple phases.
Scotland suffered another penalty with Gilchrist not rolling, and France chose to scrum down some 10-meters from Scotland’s try line.
With Scotland in a one-man deficit, France had the attacking advantage. Romain Ntamack forced his way through Scotland’s defence on the left to cross the whitewash and give France the lead. Ramos added the extras (13-10, 32 mins).
The closing 10 minutes of the first half saw a real back and forth between the two sides, with mistakes from both. Before the half-time whistle blew, Price was returned to the action – alleviating Russell of his ball-feeding duties at the scrum.
Two lineout attempts within Scotland’s half provided fruitless for France with Richie Gray stealing the ball in the second. As Scotland looked to exit and close the game, Russell’s kick for touch stretched a little too far, but France decided it was time for a break and closed the first-half three points in front.
Half-time: France 13 10 Scotland
If you thought Scotland had a quick start in the first half, well France came off the mark at lightning speed executing a try within two minutes of returning to the field through Damien Penaud, instigated from a break up the wing from Dupont. Ramos added the extras (20-10, 41 mins).
Within minutes of the restart, despite Scotland’s best efforts their defence was well manipulated, with France offloading the ball in rapid fashion before Charles Ollivon went soaring beneath the posts for five. Ramos added the extras from close range (27-10, 45 mins).
It was a back and forth five minutes, but eventually France regained possession and began to look for a try scoring opportunity. Looking for space, Dupont grubbered the ball into Scotland’s 22 and the men in white had the foot on the gas. But, so did Price and van der Merwe, as they were on a mission to stop France getting there first. The Scots got there first, but in the chaos, Ntamack gathered and dotted down. After a review from the TMO however, the try was not given and Scotland let out a sigh of relief (50 mins).
Scotland were awarded a scrum, which saw France falling forward gifting the visitors a free kick which was gathered and returned quickly by Ramos, but it was kicked dead and Scotland were taken into France’s 22 for their real chance to attack in the second half.
Despite some fantastic creativity to work around France’s defence, Price nudged the ball through a gap, where it rolled into touch some meters from France’s line.
Scotland took the opportunity to make some changes, George Horne, Stuart McInally, Rory Sutherland, Javan Sebastian and Sam Skinner enter the field to replace Ali Price, George Turner, Pierre Schoeman, WP Nel and Grant Gilchrist.
A scrappy 10 minutes of play followed with both side kicking downfield, but after some time, Scotland had possession and the game began to open up. Scotland’s Huw Jones saw the opportunity in front of him and made a spectacular break, cutting a fantastic inside line before being stuck down by the French defence just two meters before the line, but quick ball to the hands of van der Mewre sees the ball dotted down and it felt like change was coming for Scotland (27-15, 63 mins).
The try scorer was shortly replaced by Ollie Smith through injury. Scott Cummings was also brought on to replace Richie Gray (64 mins).
Scotland were determined to prove they were back in this game, and just minutes later produced another fantastic try. From the kick off, France quickly found themselves in trouble with Rory Sutherland tackled without the ball. Scotland took the scrum and held their own, getting the ball from Russell to Kinghorn, who founds Steyn cutting into the midfield before offloading to McInally. The hooker was just short of the try line, but a phase later the ball was safely in the hands of Darge and importantly, across the whitewash. Russell added the extras and suddenly this was a five point match (27-22, 68 mins).
France were eager to respond and just as it looked like their winger was away down the flank, try saving Smith brings him down and forced the ball to be spilled in the process, giving Scotland a scrum just five meters from their own try line.
Scotland made a successful exit but France returned the ball again. Russell saw an opportunity and ran into space before offloading to Kinghorn, who found George Horne. The scrum-half skillfully chipped the ball through, with Steyn in pursuit. The winger gathered in smooth fashion to bag himself a brace and crucially bring the score to draw with just seven minutes left of the clock (27-27, 73 mins).
Josh Bayliss was next to enter play, replacing Jack Dempsey who had a fantastic showing in the back row (74 mins).
Scotland’s next attacking opportunity was found at a line out, but it didn’t quite function as planned and France stole the ball, but a fantastic interception by Scotland’s magician Russell saw France knock the ball on. Scotland now had a scrum inside their half with less than three mins on the clock, but Sutherland was penalised for going to ground. Now France were within striking distance for an easy penalty kick to the posts. Ramos lined up for goal and France retook the lead with less than 90 seconds left of the game (30-27, 78 mins).
Scotland were lit up with a stirring fire ignited in them to make every second left on the clock count, and they looked dangerous. With Sutherland struck unlawfully, Scotland had the penalty and one final chance to close the game with a win.
Russell sent the ball in France’s 22 for a line out. But the lineout ended in bitter disappointment with referee Berry deeming the ball to have been knocked on in the air. Scotland’s chance at a win in France was brought to a close.
