France managed to dot down once with the conversion sailing wide for the half time scores to read 12-5 with Shujaa ahead.
Second half, Daniel Taabu side stepped his way into the try box extending Shujaa’s lead into to 19-5 after a successful conversion.
France then landed two quick corner post tries that brought them within touching distance but the wide conversions saw Shujaa maintain the four point lead at full time.
But it was the worst outing for Paul Murunga led side who lost two of their opening matyches to African counterparts South Africa and hosts Scotland.
Shujaa bowed to South Africa 29-10 before losing the second match 19-10 to Scotland. Two losses that dropped them into the Challenge Trophy. They will play Tonga at 00:22am on 27th January in the Second Challenge Trophy quarter final.
