    FT: Scotland 50-40 France

    Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend tells BBC One: "It was a brilliant day, brilliant day for our supporters.

    "Not just the rugby we played, but the mindset to keep attacking, a lot of teams would sit on that lead against France.

    "We know the best way of winning is playing like what got us that success in the first half.

    "I believed in the team.

    "Our game is built to put some of our best strike players in the game into space and they built phase after phase and grew in confidence.

    "You need painful moments and defeat to make you the team you're going to be. Italy is part of the journey."

    I don't think anyone was predicting 50-40.

    Scotland were unbelievably good today and made a good French team look average in large parts of the game today.

    FT: Scotland 50-40 France

    Darcy Graham tells BBC One: "That game was crazy, a 90-point game, it's unheard of.

    "You know what they're like, such a big unit, such a quality team and knew what they'd bring today and we did well to stop it.

    "It's a special win for us.

    "Yeah of course [we can win in Dublin], confidence is right up there, everyone is loving life, it would be nice to go over to Ireland and get that win. It's all to play for."

    Well that’s just blown this 6N wide open. Sensational, relentless from Scotland. They out-chaosed France. While France just seemed to hit the self-destruct button repeatedly.

    Want a good omen, Scotland fans?

    The last time they scored four or more tries against France was in 1999, when they won the Five Nations title.

    We're seeing replays of an eye gouge on Ewan Ashman by Oscar Jegou during the game.

    That's not a good look at all and there's a lengthy ban coming, one suspects.

  14. 'It was all about firing first' - Steynpublished at 16:16 GMT

    FT: Scotland 50-40 France

    Scotland winger and player of the match Kyle Steyn starts by telling BBC One his injury isn't too concerning.

    "Just a big ugly gash, yeah [I'll be back for next week]," he says.

    "I think we knew you couldn't come and try contain them, you had to fire shots at them.

    "You just knew it was going to be a great day.

    "It was all about making sure we fired the first shot.

    "I was more worried about how much we were celebrating, we needed to get our feet on the ground and keep going."

    Scotland are now taking it to super Saturday and they are worthy winners. That was joyous to watch. Scottish rugby, on days like that, is phenomenal to be part of and to be here on game day.

    Just remarkable.
