France effectively ended Scotland's Six Nations hopes and maintained their own Grand Slam ambitions with a 36-17 bonus-point victory against Scotland at Murrayfield.

France now go to Cardiff in two weeks with a first title in 12 years in their sights, while Scotland travel to Italy.

Meanwhile, England survived a threatening second-half comeback to defeat Wales 23-19 in an untidy game in the Six Nations at Twickenham.

Marcus Smith's boot built a 12-0 lead by the end of the first half before Alex Dombrandt went over.

Wales rallied as Josh Adams raced in and Nick Tompkins squirmed between white shirts to make it 17-12.

England scored a pair of penalties, but Kieran Hardy's try kept the contest in doubt until the final play.

Wales, 23-19 down, gamely took on the search for a game-snatching score with the clock in the red, but it proved a phase too far, an ending too far-fetched even for the history of this fixture.

Maro Itoje stole a turnover and Ben Youngs, off the bench to win an England men's record 115th cap, gleefully booted the ball into the stands.
