"Scotland have their first home Six Nations win for over three years, and it will live long in the memory. Vern Cotter's side were asked questions at every turn. They conceded the first try, saw their fly-half depart injured and then let France in again just as they appeared to have seized control of the contest. However, Scotland stood up at every turn. Having conceded a try late in the first half, Stuart Hogg hit a nerveless long-range penalty to give them the first points of the second. When Maxime Marchenaud narrowed the deficit to six and then three points, their defence held firm. Tim Visser's try confirmed a first win over France in a decade and it was fitting that Richie Gray, Greig Laidlaw and Hogg were all involved. Scotland will now prepare for Ireland with genuine belief and optimism.
