France 15 - 8 Scotland: Scots drop opener

SCOTLAND have a new coach but it was a depressingly familiar result in Paris. The Scots scored the only try of the game, displayed great spirit and no little skill, only to be out-muscled by a powerful French squad who made full use of their bench. Stand-off Camile Lopez did the damage, aided by Scots’ indiscipline, kicking five of his six penalties.
