France end Scotland's Grand Slam hopes in dramatic finish

Louis Bielle-Biarreys late try secures 20-16 victory for Les Bleus

Scotland's hopes of a Six Nations Grand Slam were ended in dramatic fashion as France snatched a 20-16 victory in Edinburgh.

Louis Bielle-Biarreys late try proved pivotal as France dug out a deserved win in a pulsating contest at Murrayfield.

The home side had led 16-13 going into the final quarter, but France showed their class to come from behind and claim a crucial victory.

The result leaves Scotland's Grand Slam hopes in tatters, while France remain in contention for the title.

Scotland made a bright start and took an early lead through a Finn Russell penalty.

However, France hit back through a try from Damian Penaud, and the visitors went into the break 13-6 ahead.

Scotland came out firing in the second half and levelled the scores through a try from Huw Jones.

Russell then kicked a penalty to put Scotland 16-13 ahead, but France refused to lie down.

Bielle-Biarreys crossed the line with just seven minutes remaining to put France back in front, and the visitors held on to claim a famous victory.

The result leaves Scotland's Grand Slam hopes in tatters, but Gregor Townsend's men can still finish the tournament in second place with a win over Ireland in their final match.
