George Turner pole-axes Gregory Alldritt and forces the knock-on. Talk about impact from the bench...

France penalty, and the whooping and hollering fills the Edinburgh air. Jamie Bhatti was just off the bench and went down. Wayne Barnes deems it foul play and France get themselves deep into Scotland's half.

Magnificent. A scrum reset...

Scotland have a scrum just inside France's half. Can they find a piece of magic?

France hooker Julien Marchand gets his claws on Scotland's ball, and Jonny Gray is pinged for holding on.

Little mistakes are costing Scotland now. They need to find something, anything, in attack.

Sean Maitland's first intervention is to put a kick out on the full. Not what Scotland needed.

France kick the ball back, though, after a quick lineout. Play on...

Scotland's defence has been incredibly brave, but Ramos makes them pay eventually.

Back to a seven-point game. Sean Maitland and Blade Thomson come on for Scotland as they try to rescue this game.

Scotland are hanging on for dear life here. France's maul sets off on a relentless march, and sets a platofrm for the backs.

Matthieu Jalibert ships it wide, but Stuart Hogg and Blair Kingorn get across to stop Vincent Rattez from running in at the corner.

This time, though, France did have an advantage. Thomas Ramos is lining up a kick...

Incredible, Gael Fickou goes so close to a score from close-range. France fly-half Matthieu Jalibert tries a cross-field kick as he thinks he has penalty advantage.

But referee Wayne Barnes had called advantage over and Scotland are able to clear.

France change two of the three in their front row. Camille Chat and Jean-Baptiste Gros have run their race and on come Julien Marchand and Cyril Baille.

Right on cue, they get the penalty at the scrum. Then Demba Bamba is replaced by Mohamed Haouas, the villain back in March.

Ach, another error. Blair Kinghorn makes a good break before being cut down. Scott Cummings tears onto Ali Price's pass but knocks on. Right angle, poor execution.

That all came from Camille Chat's overthrow at the lineout.

Jonny Gray needlessly offside which gives the French a cheap chance to get up the pitch when Scotland had them on the ropes in their own 22.

Try scorer Virimi Vakatawa prods through a kick after a half break, which Matt Fagerson sweeps up.

Scotland clear their lines and eventually win the scrum as Jonny Gray and Hamish Watson smash Gregory Alldritt.

Scotland put-in in their own half.

A fifth penalty for Duncan Weir and Scotland cut the deficit to four points. A decent riposte to conceding that early try.

Scotland are looking for a quick response as they build phases in the French half.

France are offside, and Scotland get the penalty. Captain Stuart Hogg points to the posts...

Here we go again, an exciting 40 minutes in store...

Just been perusing the match stats. I'll keep it short. It's very even...
