Scotland secured a famous 50-40 Six Nations win over France yesterday at Murrayfield.
Gregor Townsend's men now find themselves level on points with France, heading into the final weekend, with Scotland set to face Ireland and Les Bleus playing England.
There were 13 tries across the two sides yesterday, with the away side also escaping with a valuable try bonus point.
Their talisman Antoine Dupont was getting niggly with his opposite number Ben White during the game, and afterwards they were seen exchanging some tense words when France were being clapped off the pitch.
After the game, Townsend said: "It was a brilliant day, brilliant day for our supporters.
"Not just the rugby we played, but the mindset to keep attacking, a lot of teams would sit on that lead against France.
"We know the best way of winning is playing like what got us that success in the first half.
"I believed in the team.
"Our game is built to put some of our best strike players in the game into space and they built phase after phase and grew in confidence.
"You need painful moments and defeat to make you the team you're going to be. Italy is part of the journey."
