Chris Paterson
Former Scotland international on Red Button

"Scotland can be hugely proud of the performance. I think that they looked more dangerous than France despite having less of the ball which sounds like a strange thing to say, but is true."

Former England hooker Brian Moore: , externalScotland brave but over-powered by the French.

If you thought the evening was over, you were wrong because Gabby Logan, Gregor Townsend and Thomas Castaignede are continuing to chat about the match on the Red Button, which you can watch by clicking this or that on the top of this page.

Dave Somerville:, external Scotland will be hurting after that narrow and undeserved loss - look out Wales next week..

Adam Martin:, external Must be one of the most entertaining games of rugby for a while! Excellent defence and exciting attack from Scotland.

Dom Bumpstead:, external So so close for Scotland although well deserved by France great game.

Jean Jacques Ellis:, external Castaignede is spot on, if France play like that against Wales, England et al they will get written off!

"Scotland defended very well throughout the 80 minutes, especially when they were down to 14 men. But they probably spent too much time on the back foot and did not get enough chances to test the France defence.

"I though Finn Russell, Mark Bennett and Alex Dunbar defended really well, particularly in the second half when the French were bringing on guys of 24 stone."

Thomas Castaignede
Former France international on BBC One

"I am really concerned because that was not good enough. Our creativity was not there. We have some powerful players, but there was not enough support runners around the attack. If we play like that against England or Ireland we will get smashed."

Scotland's Finn Russell, speaking to BBC One: "We are all disappointed not to get the win, we had chances but we didn't take them. It was a good try to score, just before the break and if we could have come out and backed it up we could have won but we made too many mistakes. It was a real battle out there."

France coach Philippe Saint Andre speaking to BBC Sport: "We won so we need to accept that. Scotland played very well, it is a win but we will have to do a bit better than we did tonight.

"We spent a lot of time in the Scottish half but we did not show enough variation in our play and Scotland played with a lot of spirit. They are a good team. They have good footballers and a great coach so I think the future is bright for them."

"It has been a really gutsy performance from Scotland. They have shown ambition with the ball in hand and their defence has been excellent, but they start with a loss again in the Six Nations.

"There is a lot to take from this individually and as a team - not least shutting out the French side, preventing them scoring a try at the Stade de France."

Gavin Hastings
Former Scotland full-back on BBC Radio 5 live

"Disappointed though I am with Scotland conceding that late penalty, France had all the possession in the second half. Scotland have come up short tonight but I think they can go onto next weekend's match with Wales with their heads held high."

Neither team were able cross the whitewash after the break, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Scotland were rocked at times by the French power, but they remained rock solid. Camille Lopez's 100% record with the boot the difference.

Scotland's wait for a victory in the Paris cauldron continues, but it was close.

Seconds to go, France with the line-out...

Peter Hardy:, external The only game with fireworks this weekend was Wales v England ...the rest have been a bit boring

The crowd supporting the trumpeters with a rendition of La Marseillaise. The spectators providing their team with the sort of atmosphere which might help them creep over the line.

Momentum swinging one way, then the other. Scotland penalised at the breakdown and it's in a kickable spot. Camille Lopez removes his mouth guard and is as reliable as ever.
