The visitors opened up a six-point lead in the first 10 minutes, as Maxime Machenaud kicked over two penalties.

Scotland responded well and Stuart Hogg went over, with Greig Laidlaw scoring the conversion.

Four minutes later Machenaud scored another penalty for France, but a try from Tommy Seymour after he was found by Matt Scott's pass put Scotland back into the lead, with Laidlaw's conversion making it 14-9.

Scotland held onto their lead going into half time, but within a minute of the restart they fell behind. Yoann Huget cut out Duncan Weir's pass and ran through to score with Machenaud converting.

Laidlaw missed the chance to put Scotland back into the lead when he missed a penalty, but within minutes Weir kicked over to make the score 17-16.

The home side had looked set to hold on, but with two minutes left to play, Doussain kicked over a penalty to win the match for France.
