WATCH: Finn Russell channels his inner Robbie Brady with catastrophic conversion attempt

It was almost too hard to believe.

France have beaten Scotland 22-16 in an incredibly tight match at the Stade de France in Paris. The Scots got off to an excellent start thanks to a Stuart Hogg try after 17 minutes before Gael Fickou responded with the same 10 minutes before half time. At the interval, France lead 13-11 but were soon on the back foot once the second half commenced. After 44 minutes, Tim Swinson dotted down under the posts and you would be forgiven for thinking that the conversion would be a sure thing. Unfortunately for Scotland, that wasn't the case. Watch this catastrophic attempt below. https://twitter.com/RTErugby/status/830811763050287104 Something right out of the Robert Snodgrass book of free kicks, or as of most recently, perhaps even Robbie Brady. It proved costly in the end as France ran out six point winners in a final scoreline of 22-16. Fans on Twitter were quick to outline their shock and also make the comparison with the round ball game.   https://twitter.com/_apmurphy/status/830822441425436673 https://twitter.com/JackCahalin/status/830822262945247233 https://twitter.com/mattksmyth/status/830821902105063424 https://twitter.com/davidlaw0/status/830821696101838848 https://twitter.com/georgiaaablack/status/830819367868833794 https://twitter.com/Sports_Retorter/status/830813473873489921
