Scotland put themselves in contention for a first-ever Guinness Six Nations title with a sensational seven-try 50-40 victory over France at Murrayfield.
Les Bleus arrived in Edinburgh knowing a bonus-point win over Gregor Townsend’s men would have sealed them a second consecutive championship and teed them up for a first Grand Slam since 2022.
But it was the rampant Scots who produced one of their greatest-ever performances to blow Fabien Galthie’s team away.
Wings Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn both scored doubles, while Pierre Schoeman, Ben White and substitute Tom Jordan also crossed.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performance at Murrayfield.

5. Scott Cummings
Has stepped up to the mantle in the pack as a leader. A lighthouse in the lineout and made his presence felt in the loose. A reminder of why he is a British and Irish Lion. Made way for Bayliss on 52 minutes with an injury, though. 8 | SNS Group

6. Matt Fagerson
Moved back to his preferred position of flanker, Fagerson was excellent - carrying well and defending like a trojan. Replaced by Douglas. 7 | SNS Group / SRU

7. Rory Darge
What you come to expect from the flanker. A menace at the breakdown and most importantly, a leader in the pack. 8 | SNS Group / SRU

8. Jack Dempsey
A huge performance. Ran at the French with power and punched so many holes through the visiting defence. Scotland are a better team for his presence. 9 | SNS Group / SRU
