- Scotland 25-21 France
- Graham, Schoeman and Cherry tries overturn 21-3 deficit
Rarely has the phrase “a game of two halves” seemed more appropriate. France were so good for 40 minutes, it was difficult to say if Scotland had been that bad.
Fabien Galthié’s largely second-choice XV scored three tries through a classic blend of precision, speed and power. After half-time, a pulsating recovery saw Scotland claw back an 18-point deficit, and ultimately demonstrate the killer instinct that has so often eluded them.
