Les Bleus played out a classic in Dublin in round two, but their loss to Ireland meant their hopes of grabbing two consecutive Grand Slams were quashed.

Going into a game like this on the back of wins is a much better place to be than if you’re coming off the back of defeats. But at key moments, between the 40th and 60th minute, when we could take the score, the Irish were able to be even stronger. I think the players realise what a big test this is going to be, playing one of the best teams in the world on their home patch, at a venue we haven’t had much success (at) over the past 100 years. France head coach Fabien Galthie, on bouncing back from the defeat to Ireland: "We moved to the world number one. We have fallen, we must get up. Until the 72nd minute, we were six points (away). This result also secured Wales the 2021 Six Nations. So, able to win the match. Scotland, meanwhile, are fresh off the back of a hugely impressive performance against an under-performing Wales in Murrayfield, which came a week after their third consecutive Six Nations win over England. It’s going to be a tough challenge but we can match that challenge. It's interesting how men function in defeat." Who is the France v Scotland referee?

Scotland second-row Richie Gray made a big impression againstFrance at Stade de France on his first Six Nations start back in 2011.

“Both teams will be searching for parity and if we get the upper hand, we know we have the back line that can cause some damage. “If Scott [Cummings] gets through the next two weeks, what a selection headache we are going to have in the second-row. “He has always put in the work. He couldn’t deliver what we believed he should be delivering but he was still very valuable to Toulouse and to Castres. Then he had a couple of injuries and the form of other second-rows meant we didn’t believe he would start for us. He was one of only three Scots – alongside Stuart Hogg and Sean Maitland – selected for the 2013 Lions tour to South Africa, and the only Scot to appear in a Test match on that trip as a 67th-minute replacement in the final game of the series. He was making the breaks back then, but the game has tightened up a lot since then. He had a great carry that should have led to a try for George Turner. “But from this season’s performances, and also his belief in himself, that was the big change. He played a lot of minutes, their line-out defence became the best in the league. “I’m certainly an older athlete now so I’m always having conversations with the S&C [strength and conditioning] staff at Glasgow to see how best to manage my week,” he explains. “I think, certainly, the team is in a different place from where it was 10 to 12 years ago.”

It was a poor pass and was never on as he went for a miracle ball to his right. It’s not a great one so Scotland have the feed to the line-out on the 22. Price fizzes it and Russell plays a flat line pass for Jones on a scything angle and he darts over under the posts. It’s only a toe that’s out, but he’s out, even though he wormed the ball on the ground. Russell stabs a grubber that puts the ball out close to the French line. He’s taking the ball flat at the line and working it for runners on the angle, which he did for Jones to score. Rather than go to their functioning maul Scotland go long on the line out. Clean ball goes down to the maul and it makes ground. Price gathers over the ball and delays just enough to find Russell on the wrap around. But Scotland hold up the ball carrier and it’s a maul. Scotland had done brilliantly to repel the French and win a penalty. There is still the title and the Triple Crown to play for, but that was a blow to lose that after playing so well and taking the game to a great French team.”

Scotland continue their quest for an unprecedented Grand Slam as they face a wounded France side in Paris in the third round of the 2023 Six Nations.

“After I left the pitch, there was a lot of abuse and swearing and the supporters followed. ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2023/02/20/six-nations-2023-stabbed-match-did-not-stop-refereeing/)"I said to one of the team captains that four minutes were remaining but he misheard me and thought I’d said two minutes. He went on to referee at the 2019 World U20 Championship in Argentina and worked alongside his idol Wayne Barnes during the 2020 Autumn Nations Cup. “The home team exploded and accused me of cheating. His first game as a referee saw him take charge of an U12s game and it was one that he admits he will "never forget". They kicked the ball out after two minutes but I didn’t end the game – as there were two minutes left. Playing at flanker before becoming a "crash ball centre," he represented Georgia at U17, U18 and U19 levels and was selected for the squad for the 2012 European Under-18 Rugby Union Championship. I realised then that it was a hugely challenging profession." I just apologised and said it was my first match. Struggling with injuries and his mental health, he decided to retire from playing. Born in Tbilisi in 1994, Amashukei was a football fan as a child but started playing rugby aged 11. They will be looking to get their campaign back on track after also squeezing past an impressive Italy side in the opening round.

When the hosts powered over for two tries in the first ten minutes, and with Grant Gilchrist dismissed, it looked as if it might be a long afternoon for Scotland’s optimists. It would have been nice to get another one to win the game.” Scotland adjusted well on the fly to counter France’s power, recognising that Nika Amashukeli was allowing a contest at the breakdown and muddying French ball to stall the hosts. “After a really tough start, we got ourselves back into it. “We felt like we could win that,” the two-try centre reflects. I thought we had that... Finn Russell produced some moments of magic in familiar fashion, but it just wasn’t quite enough. The France defence coach says to ITV: “They dominated territory, they dominated possession, but that is what you expect from a top class team. Just to slightly correct Shaun Edwards, France have not beaten England away from home in the Six Nations since 2005, but did claim a World Cup warm-up win at Twickenham in 2007. “We’ll have a beer, it’s been a tough couple of weeks. Gael Fickou, for me, is a world-class player in hot form at the moment. The Six Nations resumes in a little less than two weeks.
