France v Scotland: Six Nations 2025 – live

Galthie has been forced into the selection of Maxime Lucu following Antoine Dupont’s knee injury, and he no doubt welcomes the return of Gaël Fickou’s quality and experience in the centres. Nolann Le Garrec is the backs cover on the bench that remains the terrifying 7-1 prospect that disassembled Ireland.

For Scotland, Gregor Brown replaces Jonny Gray in the second row while Matt Fagerson comes in for the injured Jack Dempsey at Number 8. Marshall Sykes and Ben Muncaster have been named on the bench, Six Nations debutants both.
