The Gas Challenge Scotland v France
The Royal Bank of Scotland International
England came very near to beating the French in their first match. They must take great heart against the Welsh who are out to prove that their third place in the World Cup was justified.
Scotland have a number of problems to solve after their defeat by Ireland and could find the power and flair of the French très formidable.
