    These chaps will be pleased.

  2. 'Made by Dupont'

    Scored by Bielle-Biarrey but made by Dupont. Scotland were scrambling and chasing shadows. Terrific reply for France.

  3. Scotland 7-7 France

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    It's an incredible piece of defence from Dupont on Tuipulotu.

    And then it's a flamboyant finish in the corner from Bielle-Biarrey.

  4. converted try

    Converted try Scotland 7-7 FRANCE

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey

    Antoine Dupont pinches possession and Louis Bielle-Biarrey scores in the corner.

    It's Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu who has the ball robbed from his grasp and after a brief check, the try stands.

    Thomas Ramos nails the conversion from out wide.

  5. Scotland 7-0 France

    A nervy moment for Scotland fans as France wing Theo Attissogbe looks set to gather a kick through.

    The bounce isn't favourable though and he can't gather.

  6. Scotland 7-0 France

    Here is a spell of French possession.

    The visitors are into the Scotland 22.

  7. Scotland 7-0 France

    Johnnie Beattie
    Former Scotland back row on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This has been the best possible start for Scotland, France just haven't had any possession.

  8. Scotland 7-0 France

    Scotland pile forward again as captain Sione Tuipulotu bursts through a tackle.

    It's all a bit scrappy from there though and France have a scrum.

  9. Scotland 7-0 France

    The scrum goes down and Scotland are awarded a penalty by referee Angus Gardner.

  10. Scotland 7-0 France

    It's all happening.

    France fans boo as Louis Bielle-Biarrey takes a tumble, but there's nothing in that.

    The visitors still force a lineout on the 5m line, but Scotland defend it superbly and have a chance to clear via a scrum.

  11. Scotland 7-0 France

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    Darcy Graham does so well to get off Finn Russell's shoulder and has the pace to get through there.

    What a start. He does so well to get him timing right onto the pass. His timing is perfect.

  12. Scotland 7-0 France

    Darcy Graham now stands alone as Scotland's all-time record try scorer.

  13. Scotland 7-0 France

    Johnnie Beattie
    Former Scotland back row on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That is absolutely the start Scotland required. A rapid start and an excellent piece of play.

    I do think this will be a high scoring game.

  14. 'Fantastic start'

    Scotland 7-0 France

    Sam Warburton
    Former Wales captain on BBC One

    Scotland had to draw blood first and they have, it's a fantastic start.

    They just could not let France get away from them.

  15. converted try

    Converted try SCOTLAND 7-0 France

    Darcy Graham

    Scotland hit the front!

    It comes from an initial line break from Huw Jones and France can't ever get set from there.

    Finn Russell has a little fumble, but it goes backwards and the Bath 10 has the wherewithal to find Darcy Graham, who streaks away to score.

    Russell adds the extras and Scotland have the start they craved.

  16. Scotland 0-0 France

    What an opening phase of play and it is exhausting stuff. Some of the players look out on their feet already.

    The lone piper followed by the mass voices. Surely Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield stirs the blood of any rugby fan.

  18. Scotland 0-0 France

    Scotland have started brightly here.

    They are clearly going to try to get quick ball and free up Finn Russell.

    France full-back Thomas Ramos then knocks on after a Ben White box kick and the hosts have good field position.

  19. Kick-off

    Scotland 0-0 France

    Away we go.

  20. Anthem time
