    Scotland fans react to dramatic finish in the Six Nations to France

    Finlay was on the ground at Murrayfield to find out what the fans thought about that tight finish between Scotland and France.

    In a busy day for the province, prop Keynan Knox has also departed after seven years in red.

    Connacht currently sit two places above Munster in the URC standings, in ninth, but are level on points.

    Munster are set to take on the Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets this Friday in the URC, while Connacht face Cardiff the following day at Cardiff Arms Park.

    Munster could welcome back World Cup winning lock RG Snyman for the Scarlets match, who has been out since the World Cup final with a chest/ shoulder injury.
