The XV of France began its preparation for the World Cup at home on Saturday with a narrow loss in Scotland (25-21), almost a month before the opening match against the All Blacks. The Blues, largely overhauled, nevertheless led quietly in the first period (21-3) before collapsing, conceding three tries in the last 40 minutes against the Scots reduced to fourteen in the 55th minute. A defeat certainly, but a lot of lessons and grain to grind for the staff.
