  1. France 19-7 Scotland

    Francesca McGhie shows her dancing feet and searing pace with an excellent break that takes them into the home 22.

    Scotland then win a penalty and Helen Nelson will kick at goal.

  2. 'It had it all'

    So good from Pauline Bourdon Sansus. And a really good decision and execution. It had it all.

  3. Drop-goal FRANCE 19-7 Scotland

    Pauline Bourdon Sansus

    Sheer brilliance from France scrum-half Pauline Bourdon Sansus, who catches the goal-line drop-out, gets her head up and slots a drop-goal from range.

    France keep the scoreboard ticking over nicely.

  4. France 16-7 Scotland

    Here come France.

    They are banging on the door, but Scotland do brilliantly to get back and hold the ball up over the line.

  5. France 16-7 Scotland

    Kat Merchant
    2014 England World Cup winner on BBC Sport

    Both sides have made eight handling errors. That is not something either will be happy with.

  6. France 16-7 Scotland

    Scotland were just building up a head of steam, but Rhona Lloyd drops a high ball under no pressure and hands the initiative back to France.

  7. Penalty FRANCE 16-7 Scotland

    Straight down the middle.

  8. France 13-7 Scotland

    Scotland are pinged for not rolling away at the breakdown and Morgane Bourgeois calls for her kicking tee.

    She's nailed three from three so far today.

  9. France 13-7 Scotland

    Almost a second for Emma Orr and Scotland.

    Lisa Thomson kicks a lovely grubber in behind and Orr gets there first, but can't quite hang on to the ball as she tries to get it down.

  10. France 13-7 Scotland

    Scotland have started well since the break and kick a penalty into the opposition 22.

    Can they convert?

    Lisa Thomson gets us back under way...

  12. Watch Orr try

    HT: France 13-7 Scotland

    Here is how Emma Orr brought Scotland back into the contest.

  13. HT: France 13-7 Scotland

    The Six Nations website's win predictor has France at 94% and Scotland down at 5%, with the draw given a 1% chance.

    That feels harsh to me, even if the home side have been on top.

  14. Half-time

    France 13-7 Scotland

    The players head off for a debrief and some oranges.

    France have dominated most if not all aspects of the game so far, but Emma Orr's try on the brink of half-time has given Scotland real hope.

  15. 'That score could be vital'

    That is just a pure footrace and Emma Orr has done brilliantly to keep her composure. Just before half-time means that score could be vital.

    Converted try France 13-7 SCOTLAND

    Emma Orr

    A try from nothing and Scotland are on the board.

    Carla Arbez fires a pass at lock Manae Feleu, who can't gather and it's hacked forward into open field.

    Emma Orr shows great pace to get to the ball first, kick into the in-goal area and dot down.

    Helen Nelson adds the extras and suddenly the margin is only six points.

  17. France 13-0 Scotland

    Kat Merchant
    2014 England World Cup winner on BBC Sport

    France's defence has been phenomenal. They have been putting in some huge hits. That was actually good attacking play from Scotland.

  18. France 13-0 Scotland

    Scotland show good attacking endeavour to make their way up to the French 22, but are then marched backwards as they panic somewhat.

    A French knock on earns them a scrum and a chance to reset.

    Ah, the officials have spotted something different and France now have the feed.

  19. Watch game's opening try

    France 13-0 Scotland

    Carla Arbez crossed for the game's only try so far earlier in the half.

    She showed some lovely feet to go under the posts.

  20. 'France are too good at the breakdown'

    France 13-0 Scotland

    Kat Merchant

    France are too good at the breakdown. You can't afford to give them even a spilt second.
