What channel is Scotland v France Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Scotland v France in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Scotland will host France in a World Cup warm-up on Saturday, with the latter fielding a very different team to what fans are used to seeing.
France have gone with an experimental side but the important context is that this is their first World Cup warm-up match.
Captain and scrum-half Antoine Dupont is not named in the matchday 23, with Fabien Galthié opting for Baptiste Couilloud at nine and full-back Brice Dulin as skipper. Romain Ntamack also sits this one out with Matthieu Jalibert at 10 and Antoine Hastoy as fly-half cover on the bench.
Paul Willemse, who missed France's last Six Nations match against Wales through injury, is named on the bench.
Scotland, meanwhile, have made 13 changes to the team that beat Italy last weekend, and have named a strong side.
Finn Russell is back at 10 and will captain the team, which also includes Duhan van der Merwe, Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu. The likes of Hamish Watson and Pierre Schoeman return in the forward pack.
The difference in experience between the teams could see Scotland head into the match as favourites, especially after running a full-strength French team close in the Six Nations. Scotland lost 32-21 to Les Bleus in February.
