Scotland vs France LIVE: Women’s Six Nations rugby result and reaction as Les Bleues win

LIVE – Updated at 15:03

Scotland welcome France to Scotstoun for a contest on the third weekend of the 2022 Women’s Six Nations.

The two sides have fared very differently so far in this year’s tournament. Scotland have suffered back-to-back defeats, with England thrashing them 57-5 before they were narrowly beaten 24-19 by Wales.
