  1. How do you stop Dupont?

    Scotland v France (15:15)

    Antoine Dupont is one of the most exciting players to watch in the world right now. Fact.

    The 24-year-old scrum-half has been at the heart of France's revival, and is a constant thorn in the side of opposition defences.

    He has seven tries in 26 caps so far, and scored in France's last win against Ireland, winning the Six Nations player of the tournament in the process.

    Ali Price - and the whole Scotland defence - will need to be on high alert for the little magician.

  2. 'Wonderful France' await Scots

    France are a wonderful group of players. Most people would say they're on course to be the best team in the world. They are putting all their bits together. They're very, very attack-minded from turnovers. They kick a lot

  3. France team

    France: Ramos; Thomas, Vakatawa, Fickou, Rattez; Jalibert, Dupont; Gros, Chat, Bamba; Le Roux, Taofifenua; Cretin, Ollivon (c), Alldritt

    Replacements: Marchand, Baille, Haouas, Willemse, Woki, Couilloud, Carbonel, Vincent

  4. Can Fagerson nail number eight spot?

    Scotland v France (15:15)

    Scotland's pack has been performing as well as any Scotland pack has in recent memory.

    However, the number eight spot is still very much up for grabs, with the various occupants never quite shining in the way Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson have either side of them.

    Matt Fagerson gets his chance today after recovering from an injury against Georgia last month, with Blade Thomson putting in solid - but not spectacular - displays against Wales and Italy.

    The French back-row is formidable, so what a chance for Fagerson to show how good he can be.

    Scotland have improved since they came back from the World Cup. They've improved dramatically. The centres are the key today. They need to perform. It's going to be a really tough, tough game to get a result out of

  6. Scotland team

    Scotland v France (15:15)

    Scotland: Hogg (c); Kinghorn, Harris, Johnson, Van der Merwe, Weir, Price; Kebble, Brown, Berghan; Cummings, Gray; Ritchie, Watson, M Fagerson.

  8. Scotland chasing record

    Scotland v France (15:15)

    Scotland are aiming for a sixth consecutive Test win for only the third time ever, and the first since 1990, the year they won the Five Nations grand slam.

    It's a sign of recent progress, which has come from a much stronger defence and ability to stay in the fight.

    A win this afternoon, though, would be the biggest statement of the lot.

  9. Afternoon

    Scotland v France (15:15)

    Afternoon, join us for the build-up and coverage of Scotland v France. A win for Scotland will likely see them top Pool B of the Autumn Nations Cup due to points awarded for Fiji's cancelled fixtures.

    It should be a cracker, so stick with us!
