PARIS, AFP: France full-back Thomas Ramos scored 17 points to end Scotland’s hopes of a Six Nations Grand Slam with a 32-21 win at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Scotland lost for the first time in the Championship this season after victories over England and Wales, ending their hopes of a first Grand Slam since 1990.

Both sides played more than an hour with 14 men after Grant Gilchrist was shown a red card for the visitors and Mohamed Haouas suffered the same fate for the hosts.

France needed an improved performance after losing to Ireland two weeks ago, a first defeat since July 2021 - and they got it.
