Wingers Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn scored two tries each as Scotland ensured the Six Nations title race will go to the final day of the tournament with a superb 50-40 bonus-point win at home to France on Saturday.
Had reigning champions France recorded their fourth straight bonus-point win of this season's Championship, they would have wrapped up back-to-back titles.
But Scotland ran in seven tries as they posted their highest score against France, who managed six tries of their own in an enthralling contest.
Both France and Scotland now have 16 points heading into next weekend's 'Super Saturday' round of concluding fixtures.
France will retain their title by achieving a better result against England in Paris than Scotland manage against Ireland in Dublin -- unless both lose and Ireland sneak past to win the Six Nations instead.
Significantly, France's match kicks off several hours after the Ireland-Scotland encounter so Les Bleus will know exactly what they need to do in order to be crowned champions.
