Scotland’s Guinness Six Nations campaign has been reduced to an exercise in damage limitation after failing to end their two-decade wait for a win in Paris.

After an embarrassing loss to England at Twickenham a fortnight ago, France secured a 27-10 bonus-point win with tries from Romain Ntamack, Yoann Huget and a late Gregory Alldritt brace as the injury-hit Dark Blues contributed to their own downfall for the second game running.

An injection of youth into France's starting team paid dividends, with Toulouse-trio Antoine Dupont, Thomas Ramos, and Romain Ntamack contributing to three of the four tries.
