    Scotland 3-28 France

    Another for France on the stroke of half-time!

    A 50-22 put the French in Scots territory. They gathered the line-out and sent the latest battling-ram up the middle of the Scots, with delicate offloads resulting in Gaelle Hermet going over for a score of her own.

    No surprise, Jessy Tremouliere converted to give the French a big lead going into half-time.

    Scotland 3-21 France

    A brutal try for Scotland to concede, but Laure Sansus has her second and France's third.

    Scotland had done so well to turn the ball over on the five metre line following another fantastic French attack down the flank. However, Jenny Maxwell's clearing box kick was charged down by French captain Gaelle Hermet and Sansus reacted quickest to gather and leap over the line.

    Another fantastic conversion from Jessy Tremouliere adds the extras for the visitors.

    Scotland's attack is positive, almost threatening, but the French defence is ferocious.

    Scotland 3-14 France

    Jessy Tremouliere scores France's second!

    The French were piling the pressure on and from close range, Tremouliere dummies Jenny Maxwell and barges her way over the line. It's a tricky kick, but she picks herself up, dusts herself off and slots from out wide.

    They've not been at their best so far today, but France will be happy with an eleven-point lead.

  6. Converted Penaltypublished at 19 mins

    Scotland 3-7 France

    Scotland's attack is getting hit back time and time again but French ill-discipline is allowing the Scots up the Scotstoun pitch - they've conceded seven penalties already.

    The latest penalty comes in France's 22m and Helen Nelson boots it over the posts to get Scotland's first points on the board.

  7. Penaltypublished at 13 mins

    Scotland 0-7 France

    The TMO is just having a look at an incident involving Chloe Rollie.

    The Scotland full-back gathered a French kick and booted downfield but was caught by a stray leg from Celine Ferer. It was a big clash, but the referee has only given a penalty and thankfully, Rollie is now back to her feet.

    Scotland 0-7 France

    A bit of magic from Laure Sansus!

    The French scrum-half gathers a Scotland kick on the touchline, hares at the Scotland defence and chips over the top, gathering and sauntering in for the game's first score.

    Jessy Tremouliere splits the posts with her conversion. France have made a real statement with that start.

  9. Penaltypublished at 13:09 BST 10 April 2022

    Scotland 0-0 France

    Chance for France now, as Jade Konkel is pinged in her own 22m for not rolling away.

    France kick to touch but Laura Touye's throw was squint and Scotland get a scrum on their own five-metre line. This is a big France pack though, and not the let off Scotland were necessarily after.

  10. Penaltypublished at 13:09 BST 10 April 2022

    Scotland 0-0 France

    Scotland get their first turnover early on through the returning Louise McMillan.

    Skipper Rachel Malcolm said this would a fast, physical game and she wasn't wrong - a few huge hits going in early on.

  11. Kick-offpublished at 13:06 BST 10 April 2022

    Scotland 0-0 France

    After a moment of applause to celebrate the life of Scotland legend Tom Smith, and both sets of anthems, Italian referee Clara Munarini blows the whistle.

    Scotland in their white away kit, France in their traditional blue. Jessy Tremouliere gets us underway!

    Scotland v France (13:00)

    Despite the thrashings France have handed out to Italy and Ireland respectively, Scotland can draw comfort from the 2020 meeting between the sides, which ended in a 13-13 draw.

    If they are to repeat such a result, they'll need to get the best out of talismanic number eight Jade Konkel.

    The Harlequins forward has made more carries (36) in this campaign than any other player. It's also double that of France's best carrier - Laure Sansus (16).

    And despite the two losses, Scotland have plenty to be proud of so far. The 5-57 defeat to England was not reflective of the nature of the game, and they pushed Wales all the way in the 24-19 defeat in Cardiff.

    Scotland v France (13:00)

    Scotland head coach Bryan Easson has made two changes to the side which lost against Wales.

    Second-row Louise McMillan returns, replacing Emma Wassell - whose run of consecutive Scotland appearances finally comes to an end - 54 since her debut in 2014. A wrist injury rules her out.

    Exeter Chiefs fullback Chloe Rollie returns to the side, replacing Shona Campbell, whilst Rachel McLachlan makes a return to the squad after COVID ruled her out of the Wales game.

    Hannah Smith and Lisa Cockburn miss out through injury, but half-back Sarah Law could make her 50th Scotland appearance should she come off the bench this afternoon.

  15. Hello and welcome!published at 12:32 BST 10 April 2022

    Scotland v France (13:00)

    Good afternoon and welcome to Glasgow as Scotland prepare to host France in the Women's Six Nations.

    After two hard-fought losses to England and Wales, Scotland are still looking to pick up their first win of the tournament.

    The good news is they have welcomed plenty of players back after injury and illness, with Louise McMillan and Chloe Rollie back in the starting XV.

    The bad news is, they face a France side that have recorded two wins from two, battering Italy and Ireland before heading to town.

  19. How to get into rugby unionpublished at 17:09 BST 8 April 2022

    BBC Sport

    Camaraderie and teamwork are vital skills in most team sports, but none to the same extent as in rugby union.

    From boisterous Saturday-league club houses, to schoolyard games of touch, to lining up for your country in the 6 Nations, union is a sport of skill, bravery and strength.

    And if you're more interested in throwing a ball around there are plenty of options for you, from the aforementioned touch, where tackling is banned, to light-hearted options like beach rugby.

    Although a certain level of physical stature is required in the professional ranks, rugby union really is an accessible sport, with the wide range of functions between different positions making it a sport for everybody,

    Forwards are typically stronger, heavier and entrusted with the more physical aspects of the game, whereas backs utilise pace and agility.

    It is incredibly popular at universities, and women's rugby clubs around the country are always looking for enthusiastic players and the next new pool of talent.
