Teams
Galthie has been forced into the selection of Maxime Lucu following Antoine Dupont’s knee injury, and he no doubt welcomes the return of Gaël Fickou’s quality and experience in the centres. Nolann Le Garrec is the backs cover on the bench that remains the terrifying 7-1 prospect that disassembled Ireland.
For Scotland, Gregor Brown replaces Jonny Gray in the second row while Matt Fagerson comes in for the injured Jack Dempsey at Number 8. Marshall Sykes and Ben Muncaster have been named on the bench, Six Nations debutants both.

Preamble
After the absolute powdering of Wales by England in Cardiff we arrive at the final game of the tournament with a simple ask for France: win the game and take the trophy in front of a home crowd.
The performances coming in suggest it should be eminently achievable, but can Scotland ruin the party and hand the Six Nations to the Auld Enemy?
For clarity, a win of any sort for France is enough due to their whopping points difference, but four tries and a bonus point means an outright win.
