  1. See you soonpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 30 March

    A great effort but ultimately Scotland just came up short.

    England are about to take on Wales and you can follow that one here. We shall see you all soon!

    FT: Scotland 5-15 France

    Scotland head coach Bryan Easson tells BBC One: "It was really encouraging in so many ways.

    "Defensively we put our bodies on the line. Our lineout defence was outstanding, put them under pressure. I thought we pressurised them all the way.

    "They deserved a point out of that, they deserved a bonus point.

    "We are going places. We are a team that's going in a really good direction. England here next. I know we will put in another performance that will make us all proud."

    Some lovely hands from France they sustained pressure and that paid off.

    Emeline Gros finishing it off.

    A quite superb effort from Scotland who have come so far. But France eventually make it two from two.

    Emeline Gros (con Lina Queyroi)

    Incredible defending, it really was, but with a penalty advantage looming and 80 minutes on the clock one final pass puts in replacement Emeline Gros to put the top hat on the win.

    France, a metre out, held up again and again. This is some defensive stand from Scotland...

    Scotland 5-8 France

    The clock waits for nobody and Scotland know it. Can they find a way to strike? The ball is turned over on the halfway line and France kick it to touch.

    France lineout, just outside their own 22. Scotland pressing.

    Great to see Molly Wright, who was down and needed lengthy treatment earlier on, back sitting with her team-mates on the sidelines. All seems well.

    Scotland force another turnover in their own half. They're still in this game!

    Scotland 5-8 France

    Brilliant, yet again! Once more Scotland look sure to buckle as the French forwards pepper the goal line with snipes and drives but Evie Gallagher stands her ground and turns the ball over. Huge play.

    A solid kick sends France into the Scotland 22. A lineout and a chance to kill this game off perhaps.

    France show their explosiveness at the breakdown with a counter-ruck - great pressure.

    Stunning counter ruck from France to turn the ball over on the halfway line. Brilliant on the breakdown.

    Chloe Rollie has been good since she came on, heavily involved in the game. Scotland come wide from a lineout and are accurate but France look formidable in defence. They're giving nothing up.

    Both sides have a couple of errors creeping in.

    It's now about who can control this period of play and minimise the errors.

    The home crowd believe, they're backing their side with great gusto. Scotland keep the ball well and force a penalty in midfield.

    Nothing comes from the latest France attack, Scotland can regroup as we enter the final 20 minutes. Can they find a way back onto the scoreboard?
