France impress on the way to dominant win in Scotland
Gael Fickou's try on the stroke of half-time proved the decisive blow as France cemented their position at the top of the Guinness Six Nations table with a commanding 36-17 win away to Scotland. Against the only side that they had not beaten in the Championship under Fabien Galthié, Les Bleus did not have it all their own way. In fact Scotland could have led shortly before half-time, but for a ball escaping Stuart Hogg's grasp on a brilliant counter-attack.
