Scotland v France LIVE: Six Nations 2024 score and latest updates from Murrayfield

With penalty advantage, France play on, but they run out of numbers on the left and Scotland hold firm. Back for the penalty, and on comes the tee.

Shaun Edwards won’t be happy with that French defensive start. That was all a little easy for Scotland to get to the edge.

But this is brighter for the visitors, Thomas Ramos cutting through a couple of tackles on the counter. France build into the Scottish 22.

A sparkling score from Scotland. France are short of numbers on the left edge and Duhan van der Merwe provides the required linking hands to exploit it, putting it in the hands of young Harry Paterson. The new full-back strides impressively away from the chasing defence, and finds an infield offload for Ben White.

White is tackled five metres short but his momentum and a greasy surface do the rest. Finn Russell converts.

This kick-heavy opening continues, France claiming nicely on halfway but not even chancing more than one ruck. Scotland have more adventure as they turn the ball over…and is there space on the right?

That looks a sore one for Jones, who ended up in a bit of a squeeze between Jonathan Danty and Gael Fickou. He lumbers back to join his teammates, attempting to jog it off. One to monitor.

Attacking ball for the hosts, then, the lineout taken virtually on the French 22 and the ball tossed out into midfield. Scotland’s carriers rather get themselves in a muddle, though – knocked on by co-captain Darge and France tonk long to flip the field. A fine kick from Maxime Lucu.

Huw Jones appears to have hurt himself. The medics rush on to attend to the centre’s lower leg.

Turnover, French ball, and wide they spread it, Kyle Rowe shooting up impressively to prevent Gael Fickou freeing the arms. And that’s excellent defence, in the end, Rory Darge limpeting over the top and winning a turnover penalty. Smart work from Scotland in transition given how dangerous France can be from that sort of situation.

A first lineout throw from George Turner is on the money, and Finn Russell punts first phase possession, with both teams happy to put the ball in the air. Damian Penaud returns neatly, angling towards the touchline and finding it about five metres short of the Scottish 22 on the hop.

Maxime Lucu goes to the boot immediately, Harry Paterson slightly misjudging the flight but taking competently enough. He gets a bit of a plastering, though.

Scotland also go to the air swiftly; over-cooked and marked. France clear long.

A Nic Berry blast on the whistle and we are up and running in Edinburgh.
