Scotland v France

80

France score with final play

Cruel for Scotland as we lose out on a losing bonus point. After several phases Gros goes over. 5-15, and that'll be it.

FT

France win

Excellent in parts from Scotland, but it's not enough. A 10-point win for France. Scotland are back here in two weeks to take on England. Final mention goes to our record crowd at Hive Stadium. Each and every one of you were fantastic, and we're so grateful to you all. See you soon.

78

Dropped by France

Perhaps a final chance. France drop it on our 22, and we'll have around two minutes to get up the field and score.

Into touch

Kicks from either side, and as France try to run down our right wing they drift into touch. Scottish lineout on halfway.

76

Jackal from France

A few phases from the lineout but then France get the penalty. They kick to around 30 metres from our line.

Another penalty!

Some powerful carries and then France are pinged for not rolling. We're just outside their 10m line with the lineout on our right.

France win their lineout and fire at the line phase after phase, but we hold firm and then Gallagher gets another jackal penalty! We'll have a lineout on our 22.

69

France penalty

Scotland build the phases but can't move forward. Orr chips in behind and France return it, and then a few phases later we're penalised at the ruck. France kick to around six or seven metres from our line.

67

Penalty

France don't roll away, and Helen Nelson's kick gets us around 35 metres out.

66

Not straight, and another prop swap

The lineout isn't straight. Scotland will throw in instead. Lisa Cockburn comes on for Leah Bartlett.

61

Lineout stolen!

Martin back on

Wright won't be able to continue. Elis Martin comes back on at hooker.

57

Penalty given

Yes, referee Sara Cox deems it a shoulder charge. It's a penalty where Rollie's kick landed, so we're taking a kick to touch from inside France's half. But it's not found touch, and then Thomson knocks on when France kick it back. France scrum just inside our 10.

52

Changes

Double change for Scotland, as Molly Wright and Chloe Rollie replace Elis Martin and Meryl Smith.

52

Another injury pause

With France on the attack, again the referee makes the correct decision and stops play with an injured player. It's Molly Wright who's down.

47

Nudge from Orr

France kick, and Orr finds space on the left to run it back. Orr sees space in behind and boots, and it rolls out in France's half for their lineout.

41

Thomson restarts!

COME ON SCOTLAND!!!

HT

Elation for Elis

Elis Martin got the only try of the first half, to the delight of the forward pack who worked a strong and well organised maul. The ball is in there somewhere and grounded, promise!

HT

Half time

France win their lineout and maul forward, but Gallagher and Rachel Malcolm are in there causing havoc and they've made the ball unplayable! That'll do for the opening 40. We lead by two at the break!

Emma steals it!

Mattinson kicks in behind, and France run it back. But Emma Orr steals it at the ruck, winning a pen! We kick out in France's 22 on the right.

France penalty

This time France get the breakdown penalty. They kick it out just inside their own half, with the clock in the red.

Our lineout on halfway

Kickoff gathered, and the boot from Thomson to return it is huge! France find touch on halfway in reply, and we throw in on our left.

Penalty again

An excellent maul gets us inches short, and France are forced to concede the penalty again. We go back into the left corner.

36

It's Martin, and our points are startin'!

Maul try! It's a try for Elis Martin on her first start for Scotland, as her throw-in finds Nelson and the maul hauls her over! The conversion just curls away. 5-3.

32

Scotland penalty

We're awarded a penalty for France going off feet at the breakdown. Thomson boots it into the left corner.

32

Excellent territory gained by Thommo!

Thomson sends an excellent boot downfield which France just keep in play, but we soon get the lineout on their 22.

29

More great defence!

You'd have to say France have had the better of this, but Scotland's defence is resilient and brave. A counter-ruck causes Bourdon Sansus to knock on, and we have a scrum five metres from our line.

30

Our lineout on halfway

After an initial kick is charged down, we get the ball clear and substitute Bourgeois puts a foot in touch catching it! We'll throw in at halfway.

27

Held up!

It was Bourdon Sansus who went quick, and France worked all the way up to the line, but excellent work from a host of Scots including Stewart and Thomson hold the ball up! We'll exit via the goal line dropout.

21

Scrum pen!

The scrum wheels, and Scotland are given the penalty. Nelson gets us just outside of our own 22.

27

France penalty

France win a jackal penalty in our half and go quickly, working play left.

EVIE GALLAGHER JACKAL KLAXON

France win their lineout and work a couple of phases, but Evie Gallagher makes a trademark steal at the ruck and wins the penalty! Nelson going for goal.

17

Missed

Nelson misses left, and France have the 22.

18

Kicked dead

From the 22, Nelson tries to find space but it goes too long and over the dead ball line. French scrum, just inside our half.

20

Narrow escape

From the scrum France come firing up the left, before working back right. But a knock on from Konde ends the attack, and Scotland get the scrum on our own 5m line.

15

In the 22

France exit, and Scotland play a few phases before Thomson chips into the 22 and out. The visitors throw in from there.

12

Another penalty

An intentional knock-on, and France get the penalty on our 22 in front of the posts. They're going for goal.

Lineout pinched!

We grab the ball from the lineout and exit! France will throw in from around 25 metres from our line.

And another lineout

France steal the lineout, but then kick out on the full. Another Scottish throw-in, this time on our left just inside France's half.

1

First scrum

We exit from kick off, then France knock on. We'll put into the first scrum, a few metres inside France's half.

Queyroi starts it!
