The bonus-point victory moves France two points ahead of Ireland and six clear of England, meaning a win over Scotland next weekend will dash Ireland's hopes of a record third title in a row...and secure the French their second title since 2010.

Scotland currently leads Wales 28-8 early in the second half at Murrayfield.
