France restored its Six Nations title hopes with a hard fought 32-21 win over Scotland in Paris.

Both sides suffered red cards in the first 10 minutes, and Scotland trailed 19-0 at one stage before roaring back to make it a four-point game going into the final few minutes.

However, France’s Gaek Fickou powered over to seal a bonus-point win following a missed Scotland lineout.
