(Reuters) - France centre Virimi Vakatawa muscled over the line to break open an absorbing clash which saw his side beat a spirited but ultimately toothless Scotland 22-15 at Murrayfield on Sunday and top Group B of the Nations Cup.

The hosts struggled throughout the game to contain the Fiji-born Frenchman, who scored the only try just after halftime as he tracked a sniping break from Vincent Rattez and burst through Scotland's flailing defenders.
