Scotland v France Live: Kick-off time, TV channel and Six Nations match updates

Scotland v France kicks off the Six Nations schedule this weekend and it's set to be a mouthwatering occasion at Murrayfield.

Gregor Townsend's men will want to redeem themselves following misery in Cardiff two weeks ago, while Les Bleus are unbeaten so far and will pose a formidable challenge.

The Scots have been dealt a late blow with Hamish Watson having to withdraw due to a positive Covid test, seeing Nick Haining move into the starting side, Rory Darge switch to openside and Andy Christie being promoted onto the bench.

France are without Toulon winger Gabin Villiere due to a sinus fracture and Mathieu Jalibert is nursing a thigh complaint, but centre Jonathan Danty is fit again after overcoming an ankle issue.

Kick-off is at 2.15pm and the match is being broadcast live on BBC One.
