Rugby News - France's dismal run continued when they failed to win for the eighth consecutive time in a 32-26 defeat against Scotland in the Six Nations at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Scotland prevailed thanks to tries by Sean Maitland and Huw Jones with man of the match Greig Laidlaw adding two conversions and six penalties in a perfect kicking performance as France were penalised 13 times.
Les Bleus, who have not won an international test in 329 days, scored two tries through the impressive Teddy Thomas, Maxime Machenaud adding two conversions and two penalties with replacement scrumhalf Baptiste Serin also scoring a couple of penalties.
France, who lost influential flyhalf Matthieu Jalibert in last weekend's 15-13 defeat by Ireland, were again hit by injuries as Machenaud had to make way for Serin at halftime after being hit in the shoulder.
"If I could have stayed warm I would have been able to continue but it was halftime so I preferred to leave my place to someone fresh," said Machenaud.
