Sunday's Rugby 13/03/16

Six Nations

SCO 29-18 FRA (ENGLAND WIN THE SIX NATIONS)

Scotland ended a 10-year winless streak against France to record back-to-back Six Nations victories for the first time in three years.

The hosts recovered from Guilhem Guirado's early try to lead 18-5 after Stuart Hogg and Duncan Taylor tries, the latter a superb individual effort.

Gael Fickou's score reduced France's half-time deficit, and two Maxime Machenaud penalties made it 21-18.

But Hogg's brilliant overhead pass saw Tim Visser's try secure victory.

Greig Laidlaw's penalty with five minutes left added further gloss to a rapturously received triumph, their first over France since 2006.


Scotland's victory confirmed England, who beat Wales on Saturday for their fourth straight win, as Six Nations champions.
