They are aiming for the championship, and we intend to disrupt their plans. With a knowing smile, Blair Kinghorn encapsulated the significance of the upcoming match at the Stade de France on Saturday, March 15.

After a commanding performance in Dublin, where they triumphed 42-27 over Ireland, the French men’s rugby team is in a strong position to secure the prestigious title for the second time in Fabien Galthié’s six-year tenure, following a grand slam in 2022 and four second-place finishes. A win, along with an attacking bonus point, would ensure their victory, and they will be aware of the specific requirements before the match begins, depending on the outcomes of other games.
However, the French, who will be without their star player Antoine Dupont due to a ruptured right cruciate ligament sustained in Ireland, are not underestimating Scotland. They have learned this lesson the hard way. In 2021, facing a similar scenario where they needed to win by at least 21 points against the same team, France narrowly lost 23-27, conceding a last-minute try as a consequence of not settling for a straightforward win.
