France v Scotland Match Reports

France claimed the Six Nations title with a 35-16 bonus-point victory over Scotland in Paris. A fairly even first-half saw Yoram Moefana score for France and Darcy Graham reply for Scotland. Three penalty kicks from Thomas Ramos and two from Finn Russell meant the hosts led 16-13 at the break. Scotland started the second half brightly, but Louis Bielle-Biarrey was first to score as France took advantage of a loose pass. Ramos scored France's third try in the 58th minute as they started to pull clear on the scoreboard. Moefana got his second try just after the hour mark securing a 4-try bonus-point for Les Bleus. France were now in full control of the contest as they marched towards a seventh Six Nations title. A selection of match reports is listed below:
