Scotland vs France player ratings as Fabien Galthie’s men remain on course for a Six Nations Grand Slam with a third straight win.
Three first half tries from Paul Willemse, Yoram Moefana and Gael Fickou gave the away side a 19-10 lead at the break with debutant Rory Darge crossing for the hosts.
Powerhouse Jonathan Danty crossed one minute into the second-half to secure the try-scoring bonus-point before Damien Penaud’s brace put the game beyond doubt.
Duhan van der Merwe scored a late consolation try, but in truth Gregor Townsend’s men were well beaten.
