After a chastening defeat to Italy in their opening game of the championship, Scotland bounced back with a stunning victory over England and a hard-fought victory over Wales in Cardiff. Now Gregor Townsend’s side face the biggest challenge of all against the undefeated French. However, there is no shortage of motivation for the talented Scots as they will be aware that victory over France will see them travel to Dublin in round five with a genuine chance of lifting the Six Nations title for the first time.
Having won all three games, France know that a bonus-point win in Edinburgh will secure the title with a round to spare. Fabien Galthié's side have been formidable thus far, securing victories thanks to devastating bursts of creativity and raw power. They’ll look to once again dominate the aerial battle but will be well aware of the threat that Scotland possess, so expect big performances in defence from the likes of Oscar Jégou and Anthony Jelonch.
