The XV of France beat Scotland in Edinburgh (16-20) A reassuring victory, eight days after the defeat of the Blues against Ireland. The Scots crossed the line at the very end of the match but the referee, after viewing the video, did not validate the try.

The bad news for the Blues came from the stretcher exit of their captain, Grégory Alldritt (50th), injured in the thigh. With a week's break, the French XV can take a breather before turning to the reception of Italy on February 25 in Lille.
