Fiji born Virimi Vakatawa scored a try for France as they defeated Scotland 22-15 in the Autumn Nations Cup this morning.

The win ends a run of four successive defeats at Murrayfield and is France’s first win in Edinburgh since 2014.

Scotland's hopes of reaching the final now rest on whether Italy can beat France in Paris next week.

The sides were level at the break, but within minutes of the restart, Vakatawa claimed the game's only try.

Scotland had to hang on against repeated French attacks, but their brave defending went unrewarded.

France leads pool B with 9 points, Scotland is second with 6 points, Italy is in third place with 5 points while Fiji is fourth.
