RECAP: France v Scotland

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the Six Nations decider between France and Scotland in Paris.

The best defence of the past two editions of the Six Nations stands between France and a first title in more than a decade, as a depleted Scotland head to Paris.

The Championship decider has been postponed since late-February after a COVID-19 outbreak among the home camp.

Les Bleus will lift their first trophy since 2010 but need to score four tries or more in a victory of more than 20 points on Friday.
