What time is Scotland rugby game on today? Scotland v France Six Nations kick-off time, team news - and how to watch on TV
Scotland require their own bonus-point win and to overturn France's massive points difference, while also relying on unlikely results elsewhere. Gregor Townsend's side are likely to finish fourth for the second successive year, but they can cling onto the close nature of the past three clashes between the sides and recent performances on French soil.
The absence of France captain Antoine Dupont may also be a factor - the superstar sustained a knee injury in Dublin last week and is is set to miss the next six months. France make two changes with Maxime Lucu starting at scrum-half in place of Dupont. Gael Fickou replaces Pierre-Louis Barrassi at outside centre to win a French record-equalling 50th Six Nations cap.
