Murrayfield, Edinburgh, Scotland (GenevaLunch) - France turned on the power as they crushed Scotland at Murrayfield. The French forwards dominated the scrums but the killer blows came from outside centre Mathieu Bastareaud who scored two tries to signal his return from disgrace after falsely claiming to have been attacked during  the French team’s tour to New Zealand. He actually injured himself while drunk. The 9-18 scoreline did not do justice to the degree of superiority the French team displayed. Their next game is in Paris against Ireland, who were much less convincing in their win over Italy. England beat Wales in the centenary match at Twickenham.
