Well, this one is all over – in truth, the result was in no doubt by half time, as France blew Scotland away. Why not get ready for the next match? We also know how to live stream England vs Wales in the six nations rugby – that kicks off at 16:45 GMT. Scotland fans may be able to cheer themselves up by seeing England get their arses handed to them, although at Twickenham, against a non-vintage Wales side, you wouldn’t bet the house on it.

The Scotland vs France six nations rugby match and live stream are over, and if you’re a Scotland fan, you may want to look away now, and perhaps have a not-so-wee dram. 

France have looked the best side in the Five Nations so far and they took an early lead at Murrayfield. Dupont scored a wonder try, before Yoram Moefana bundled over a second. Sustained Scottish pressure quickly saw them narrow the lead to just 2 points, thanks to a converted Darge try on his debut. However, Scotland then went off the boil and France have been scoring at will ever since. Last time I dared to look, the Scots needed to overturn a 26-point deficit, and the final score was 36-17 in France’s favour.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and live stream Scotland vs France at the Six Nations as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

  • VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anomality as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
  • As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
  • Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
  • When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
  • Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it
  • To live stream Scotland vs France, all you need to do is select a UK server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions with the likes of BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub opening its online gates to you.
  • We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
