France (17) 34 / Scotland (7) 21  (Final Score)

France hosted Scotland at Stade de France, Paris at 19:00 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & CSN on TV in SA.

For a change a red hot French team pitched to play and they started like a house on fire but the brave Scotland side fought back all the way, till the end.

In the end there was just too much French fire power as reflected in the final score of 34 / 21.
