  1. 'Sucker punch'

    Scotland 10-26 France

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    It's a sucker punch just after half-time.

  2. converted try

    Converted try Scotland 10-24 France

    Jonathan Danty

    Game over?

    Scotland are all over the place, waiting for a penalty that doesn't come.

    A mighty kick bounces favourably for Jonathan Danty, who glides over to score under no pressure at all.

    The wind blows the conversion kick in too. Everything going the way of France...

    'He takes the gift' - Danty extends France's lead over Scotland

  3. Kick-off

    HT: Scotland 10-19 France

    There will have been a lot of frustration in the Scotland dressing room, but they have to let all of that go and clear their heads for this second half.

    Mark Bennett is on for Chris Harris. That must be an injury. The big centre is such a key player for Scotland.

    Ah, it's an HIA, so we might see Harris again.

  4. WATCH: Fickou flies in for France

    HT: Scotland 10-19 France

    'A brilliant finish' - Fickou re-establishes France's two-try lead

  5. 'France absorb so much from Scotland'

    HT: Scotland 10-19 France

    Andy Nicol
    Former Scotland scrum-half on Radio Scotland

    That third French score was a brilliant try by a brilliant team, who have absorbed so much from Scotland.

  6. 'Scotland have to keep forcing mistakes'

    HT: Scotland 10-19 France

    Martin Johnson
    Former England captain and coach on BBC One

    France got a bit rattled. Scotland were finding gaps and France have mistakes in them, Scotland have to force those out of them. They got one but they should have made the most of a couple of others.

  8. WATCH: Darge try on first start for Scotland

    HT: Scotland 10-19 France

    'Right back in the game!' - Darge scores first Scotland try

  9. Half-time Scotland 10-19 France

    Three tries for France, some glaring missed opportunities for Scotland to stew over.

  10. try

    Try Scotland 10-19 France

    Gael Fickou

    Oh dear. France work the ball from one side of the pitch to the other in the blink of an eye and Gael Fickou has the power and speed to plunge in the corner, with Ali Price getting his attempted tackle all kinds of wrong.

    A fantastic conversion rubs salt in the Scottish wounds.

    'A brilliant finish' - Fickou re-establishes France's two-try lead

  11. Scotland 10-12 France

    Now France are flying forward and it takes a terrific tackle from Chris Harris to knock Melvyn Jaminet in touch.

    France have a penalty though and boot it a long way up the pitch.

    Scotland have got to hold on here, with the clock in the red.

  12. 'France are tiring'

    Scotland 10-12 France

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    France are looking tired, it took their front five ages to get back to their feet. Scotland must strike before half-time.

    Alex Haworth: Sums up Scottish Rugby in one moment.

  14. Scotland 10-12 France

    The white shirts of Scotland are streaming forward as Duhan Van der Merwe makes a lung-bursting break through a big gap.

    Chris Harris carries on the good work and it's three against one. Harris loops a long pass to Stuart Hogg but the Scotland captain, perhaps thinking of his celebration already, can't hold on.

    A glorious chance up in smoke.

  15. 'Scotland rolling their sleeves up'

    Scotland 10-12 France

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    Scotland have rolled their sleeves up when defending and have matched France's physicality.

  16. Scotland 10-12 France

    This looks promising for Scotland as Nick Haining lumbers forward with Duhan Van der Merwe on his shoulder. The winger is flying but the pass isn't on the money and the chance is gone.

  17. 'Scotland ready to fight'

    Scotland 10-12 France

    Andy Nicol
    Former Scotland scrum-half on BBC One

    Scotland will take huge confidence from their performance in the last ten minutes and that their game plan and what they were trying to achieve can result in tries

  18. Scotland 10-12 France

    It's more of an even contest now as Scotland make more attacking inroads. France strip the ball but soon cough up a knock-on.

  19. Scotland 10-12 France

    Rory Darge in the thick of the action again and his work over the ball brings a penalty Scotland's way for not releasing.

    The 22-year-old is having a stormer so far.

  20. WATCH: Flying start for France

    Scotland 10-12 France

    'What a try!' - Willemse scores to give France early lead

    'Everyone has to applaud, that is brilliant!' - Moefana extends France's lead
