Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn scored two tries each as Scotland beat France 50-40 in Edinburgh on Saturday to secure a pulsating bonus-point win that ensures the Six Nations Championship will be decided in the final round next weekend.
Despite the defeat, a try-scoring bonus-point means France head the table on points-difference from Scotland with both teams on 16 points from their five games. Ireland are still in the mix with 14 points.

Prop Pierre Schoeman and scrumhalf Ben White also crossed for tries as the Scots ran France ragged with a high-tempo game in the Edinburgh sunshine and they recorded their highest points tally over France.
The visitors scored tries through wings Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Theo Attissogbe, scrumhalf Antoine Dupont, fullback Thomas Ramos (two) and flanker Oscar Jegou, but coach Fabien Galthié will be concerned by their discipline with two yellow cards and how they wilted under pressure.
