Scotland get themselves over the gain line thanks to Jade Konkel's powerful leg drive, but she's isolated and France get over the ball to win a penalty.

They haven't given Scotland a sniff so far.

Some lovely hands from French forwards and backs alike open up from Scottish defence again, but the final pass goes to ground and the visitors just about survive.

Elliann Clarke has passed her HIA and is back on the park, replacing Molly Poolman.

You can now see why France went for the points earlier. They are building the score so they can play with flair and take more risks.

Another three points for the hosts, who now lead by 13.

They have been the dominant side.

Scotland concede a penalty from their own scrum and France will kick at goal.

Superb work from Scotland wing Rhona Lloyd to leap and claim a French kick to touch. It alleviates just a little bit of pressure.

Scotland play their way into trouble in their own 22, but get away with it as they are awarded a penalty.

They then knock on from the resulting lineout - they can't get anything going at the moment.

Molly Poolman is on for a Scotland debut, with Elliann Clarke off.

A big ask for the replacement prop.

Normally France would hitting their big runners but Carla Arbez spotted the gap. That was poor defence though from Scotland as it was a single runner.

France are so dangerous when they get their offloading game right, they're so difficult to defend.

They're starting to get into the swing of things.

Going for points shows they think this is going to be a close game, it's going to be a dogfight.

Otherwise they'd try and go for seven there.

Straight through the middle.

The home side hit the front.

France now win a penalty at the breakdown and full-back Morgane Bourgeois calls for her kicking tee.

Scotland are sent marching back at the game's first scrum, but get the ball out quickly enough before Lisa Thomson's kick over the top goes out on the full.

An unforced error after a bright start.

Scotland make their way to the edge of France's 22 and win a penalty, which is kicked into the corner.

However, the lineout is a bit scrappy and the hosts clear.

Hollie Cunningham, who made her Scotland debut last week, is down receiving treatment.

She looks in a lot of pain and is in tears as she is helped from the field.

Adelle Ferrie is on in her place.

Away we go.

France are in their traditional dark blue, while Scotland are in their change strip of light blue and white.

The Scotland players are very confident.

France are a little off their full-strength side, so I'm expecting a good game today.

Scotland's squad are belting out Flower of Scotland at Stade Marcel-Deflandre.

Kick-off isn't far away now.
