Scotland is set to face undefeated France in the penultimate round of the Six Nations, where they are the only team still aiming for a Grand Slam. This match will be a crucial one for Scotland, who have dominated the air against Ireland, Wales, and Italy so far. The key areas for Scotland will be the ability to control the ball and retain possession from their own kicks. France's power game is strong, with players like second-row Emmanuel Meafou having more bulk than Scotland's, and a dynamic back row.

Scotland has missed the fewest tackles in the Championship so far and will need to upend their set-piece.
