EDINBURGH (Reuters) - A red card for a moment of recklessness by Mohamed Haouas ended France's hopes of a Six Nations Grand Slam on Sunday, as they lost 28-17 to a clinical Scotland in a meltdown with echoes of their ill-disciplined exit from the World Cup last October.

Scotland's victory, secured with two tries for Sean Maitland and one by Stuart McInally, means no team can next Saturday win the most chaotic Six Nations in recent memory, thanks to the postponement of Italy's remaining fixtures due to coronavirus.
