But France pulled away in the second period, with Louis Bielle-Biarrey going over for his eighth try of the tournament, before Thomas Ramos further eased the nerves and Yoram Moefana then added to his first-half score. Scotland were hugely impressive and pounded away at the French defence right up until the final whistle, but they had little to show for their second-half efforts as Les Blues held firm, ensuring there was to be no late drama.
