from the restart Denton knocks forward and France camp themselves on the Scotland 5 metre line and Hogg is to the rescue with a fantastic tackle on Mermoz, but the referee brings it back for the penalty and Machenaud goes for the posts again and gets his third kick of the day as France go back in front.
A poor try for France to concede. Scotland had the advantage of a penalty and Hogg kicked a huge kick in the air to the French line and Huget and Dulin jumped in the air but neither were able to catch it cleanly and the ball eventually bounced back from Huget's hand and Hogg slid in to touch down the ball to give Scotland there opening score of the game. Laidlaw gets the extras as Scotland go in front.
Knew the Scottish would rally!!
here the come
Lol awesome .... Lucky but awesome... Come on the scots!!
The try is awarded as Stuart Hogg gets Scotland's first try of the game.
We are going to the TMO as Hogg is celebrating as he thinks he has scored the opening try of this game.
France go through the phases and are eventually awarded a penalty in front of the posts and Machenaud splits the posts to increase their lead to 6.
Good luck with that!!
Great break from France with fine running from Dulin who gives he ball to Huget who is tackled into touch but offloads the ball to Mermoz just in time and the Toulon man looks certain to score but is brought down by Dunbar.
