Scotland nearly snatch a win in France

France 19 Scotland 16

Scrappy Scotland were denied a smash-and-grab win in Paris after France stormed back to claim a 19-16 win in both side’s final match before the World Cup.

Vern Cotter’s side where erratic at the vital moments for most of the opening hour but a moment of class from skipper Greig Laidlaw set up Tommy Seymour to score.

However, the Dark Blues could not claim their first win at the Stade de France since 1999 Philippe Saint-Andre’s team finally breached the solid Scots defence with Noa Nakaitaci’s late touchdown.
