Gregor Townsend has warned France that Scotland have nothing to lose in their final Six Nations clash. France could be crowned champions with a positive result against the Scots. Townsend’s side are out of the running for this year’s prize but they will try to ruin France’s party in Paris next weekend.

Gregor Townsend said finishing the Six Nations at France next weekend was the "toughest fixture in world rugby" after his Scotland side revived their campaign with a 35-29 home win over Wales on Saturday.

Scotland winger Duhan van der Merwe believes Scotland "weren't good enough" in their ultimately narrow win over Wales at Murrayfield. Scotland were 27 points ahead at the hour mark before the visitors brought it back to a one-score game in the dying seconds.
