Scotland enter a critical showdown against France that could firmly launch themselves into Six Nations 2023 title contention.

Gregor Townsend's men have recorded some massive victories during his tenure but have failed to follow up big wins with further big wins. This is a huge opportunity to change the record.

If the Scots topple France in Paris – a tough, though surmountable task – they will have racked up three wins from three games and set up a firecracker showdown with Ireland in Edinburgh in Round 4.

France showed plenty of quality in their encounter with Ireland but were ultimately dispatched by the new tournament favourites.

The destiny of Fabien Galthie's men is out of their hands. Simply, they need an Irish defeat – a favour from elsewhere – if they are to defend their title. However, they also need to keep picking up wins to position themselves well in case of an Irish collapse.
