Is France vs Scotland on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Six Nations clash
France can wrap up the Six Nations title with a victory over Scotland as the championship reaches its denouement.
Their Dublin dismantling of Ireland has left Fabien Galthie’s men on the verge of triumph even after the brutal injury blow sustained by captain Antoine Dupont in that encounter.
But a few in the French squad will fret over the memories of this fixture in 2021, when Les Bleus could similarly have secured silverware but fell to a shock defeat that granted Wales the trophy.
Can Scotland pull off something similar here after a real performance of two halves in round four?
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is France vs Scotland?
France vs Scotland is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Saturday 15 March at the Stade de France in Paris.
How can I watch it?
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage on the channel from 7.15pm GMT. A live stream will be available via ITVX.
Team news
France are able to call upon Gael Fickou for the first time this tournament with the veteran centre filling the vacancy left by Pierre-Louis Barassi, who is out after a concussion. Maxime Lucu swaps in for Antoine Dupont after the scrum half’s cruciate ligament injury as Gregory Alldritt assumes the captaincy. It is again seven forwards on the bench after such a decisive impact against Ireland.
Scotland make two changes in their pack with Gregor Brown given a first Six Nations start in the second row, and Matt Fagerson returning at No 8 after an injury to Jack Dempsey. The backline remains intact from the one that beat Wales, with all seven starters perhaps hoping to further their British and Irish Lions case with a strong tournament finish.
