What time is Scotland vs France? TV channel, live stream info, team news, odds and more

Perfect France will put their 100 per cent start to the 2022 Six Nations on the line at Murrayfield on Saturday when Scotland will seek their third straight win over Les Bleus in the competition.

Fabien Galthie's men emerged as 22-15 victors when they visited Edinburgh in the 2020 Autumn Nations Cup, but they haven't best the Scots in a Six Nations setting since 2019.

France needed to overcome the boys in blue by at least 21 points in order to beat Wales to last year's Six Nations crown but ended up losing 27-23 to Scotland, who even finished the game with 14 men.

Having missed out on that chance at a first Six Nations title since 2010, France look to be in even better shape this time around following wins over Italy and Ireland.

Scotland haven't sealed three consecutive wins over France in this competition since 1958, back when it was still the Five Nations.

Gregor Townsend has been forced to make a number of changes for the third-round encounter, and Glasgow Warriors prospect Rory Darge will make his first senior Scotland start at blindside flanker.

Stuart Hogg remains skipper and will lead an unchanged back line following a 20-17 defeat to Wales last time out, while Zander Fagerson and Magnus Bradbury are back among the starting pack.

France have made just the one change but a significant one, with Toulon winger Gabin Villiere—the tournament's top try-scorer with three to his name—dropping out due to a facial injury.

Bordeux centre Yoram Moefana takes his place out wide while fit-again Jonathan Danty returns to partner Gael Fickou in midfield, with their XV otherwise unchanged ahead of the trip to Edinburgh.

Here's all the information you need ahead of Saturday's match at Murrayfield.
