France were at their flamboyant best as they scored six tries in thumping Scotland 36-17 at Murrayfield on Saturday to make it three wins out of three in the Six Nations this year.

Two tries in the opening 13 minutes served notice of their form and status as tournament favourites, as Paul Willemse and Yoram Moefana went over early.

There were four more tries from Gale Fickou, Jonathan Danty and Damien Penaud (2) in a devastating performance, with Melvyn Jaminet adding three conversions

Scotland offered resistance at stages but only went over the line twice through loose forward Rory Darge, making his first start for the home team, and Duhan van der Merwe. Finn Russell converted one of the tries and added a penalty while Stuart Hogg converted the other.

Scotland 10-31 France, 65 minutes

The French breakdown attacks are becoming more and more regular. Sam Skinner is isolated and Gregory Alldritt gets over the top. Penalty to France, who will return to the Scottish 22.

Scotland 10-31 France, 63 minutes

What speed from Damian Penaud! The winger canters back to cover a kick and then gallops away from Stuart Hogg, desperately trying to bite his ankles. Antoine Dupont clears.

Darcy Graham chips ahead but Peato Mauvaka beats him in the air and then embarrasses a defender with a deceptively deft shimmy into space. Flamenco footwork from the hooker!

After a clever French kick, Scotland will throw a lineout on their own 22.

Scotland 10-31 France, 61 minutes

This is becoming a bit of a statement from France, much as Scotland may be depleted. But there is still fight left in the Scottish side, with a set of forwards that now includes Oli Kebble (on from the bench at loosehead) rushing hard into the French line.

But Antoine Dupont shoots out to make a timely defensive intervention and force the ball errant.

TRY! Scotland 10-31 FRANCE (Damian Penaud try, 59 minutes)

France pounce! Rory Darge is stood up in midfield and in his haste to avoid France gaining the scrum feed releases control of the ball entirely. France spread the ball to the right, with Romain Taofifenua’s draw-and-pass skills excellent, and Damian Penaud doesn’t even have to shift out of second gear as his long legs take him over.

Scotland 10-26 France, 58 minutes

France play the percentages, Romain Ntamack eschewing the ambitious pass he might have thrown in the first half and stabbing a little kick in behind. Duhan van der Merwe covers well.

Scotland 10-26 France, 57 minutes

Again France find breakdown joy. Cameron Woki this time, spying a lone carrier turtled after Jonathan Danty’s strong tackle and jackaling perfectly.

Jean-Baptiste Gros replaces Cyriol Baille, while Ali Price has passed his head injury assessment and rejoins affairs.

Missed Penalty! Scotland 10-26 France, 56 minutes

Plenty of punch to Jaminet’s strike, but dragged to the left.

Scotland make some changes: George Turner replaces Stuart McInally and WP Nel arrives in place of Zander Fagerson.

Scotland 10-26 France, 55 minutes

Gael Fickou requires some extra strapping on a head wound, but strides back into position as new hooker Mauvaka hits his jumper at the lineout. Scotland come in at the side.

Interesting - it’s a toughie, but Melvyn Jaminet is going to have a go at goal. 40 metres out, seven metres infield...

Scotland 10-26 France, 54 minutes

Here come the French cavalry - Romain Taofifenua is on in the second-row, Peato Mauvaka relieves Marchand and Thibaud Flament replaces Anthony Jelonch, which I think will mean Cameron Woki shifting back to his former back-row home and Flament and Taofifenua forming a new lock partnership.
