For the first time in the Six Nations era, Scotland have kicked off their campaign with back-to-back victories, but this clash against France is the game that will really determine whether Gregor Townsend’s men are genuine title contenders or not.
Having started their title defence with consecutive away assignments, Les Bleus are finally in action in Paris, and if ever they needed some home comforts it’s now. Their defeat to Ireland, seen by many as an early Championship decider, means the dream of back-to-back Grand Slams has gone, but it’s far too early for Fabien Galthie’s men to concede the crown.
Tighthead Mohamed Haouas comes in for the suspended Uini Atonio in the only change to the France XV, which means that reports of Jonathan Danty’s impending return have proven to be premature.
Hamish Watson, the Player of the Championship two years ago, takes his place in the Scotland team at the expense of Luke Crosbie, having recovered from the concussion that kept him out of their opening fixtures. Stuart Hogg, meanwhile, has been deemed fit to start after trudging off early with a head injury two weeks ago.
You have to turn the clock back 95 years for the last time Scotland won consecutive away games against France. Doing so again here might even win over the team’s most pessimistic followers.
