Scotland comfortably beat France 29-18 at Murrayfield on Sunday in the 2016 Six Nations to make it two wins in a row and help England clinch the title.

The Scots were particularly grateful to Stuart Hogg, who scored one of the hosts' three tries and made another in a fine performance.

Here is the final score from the Sunday's game, followed by the updated table:

 



Here are the fixtures for the fifth round:



 

Scotland Win Hands England the Title Scotland's victory ensured England claimed the Six Nations title for the first time in five years, per BBC Sport:



The same source set a lofty new target for coach Eddie Jones' team:



Jones told BBC Sport that's his aim:



The England chief can set those ambitions thanks to the way Scotland ran the French ragged at Murrayfield. Hogg was a real menace all day, and the French pack was also pushed around too easily.

Still, the visitors actually took the lead when Guilhem Guirado went over in the early stages. But quick transitions from Hogg and co., as well as the boot of Greg Laidlaw, gave the Scots an 18-12 lead at the break.

Then it was Hogg's turn to produce some real magic and release Tim Visser with a spectacular pass over his head for the decisive try. Another Laidlaw penalty capped the scoring for the dominant hosts, who snapped a lengthy losing run against France, according to OptaJonny:



The Scots moved up to third, while France's soft underbelly let them down again.

But it's England who really merit the headlines after a perfect tournament so far. Now Jones can turn his attention to fine-tuning his squad ahead of a Grand Slam push.
