Scotland put themselves in contention for a first-ever Guinness Six Nations title with a sensational seven-try 50-40 victory over France at Murrayfield. But it was the rampant Scots who produced one of their greatest-ever performances to blow Fabien Galthie’s team away. Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn both scored doubles, while Pierre Schoeman, Ben White and substitute Tom Jordan also crossed. Whichever side wins between Ireland and Scotland will move to the top of the Six Nations table and will then hope England can do them a favour against France. As it stood at that point Scotland were heading top of the table, but just as they looked to be coasting towards the ideal result, it all got a bit ragged for Townsend’s men.
