PARIS (Reuters) - France this time held on to their advantage as they beat Scotland 27-10 on Saturday for their first win of this year's Six Nations, but they are well aware that their next opponents Ireland in Dublin will be much tougher.

Les Bleus benefited from Scotland's injury problems to score four tries and put their opponents under constant pressure as they bounced back after defeats by Wales and England.
