Match information and TV details ahead of the Six Nations clash at Murrayfield in Cardiff

Scotland will look to build on their winning start to the 2024 Six Nations when they host France at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Gregor Townsend defeated Wales in Cardiff for the first time in 22 years on the opening weekend of the tournament but had to endure a worrying second half as they only just held on to a 27-26 victory having led 27-0 early in the second half.

France arrive in Edinburgh on the back of a 37-18 defeat to defending champions Ireland in Paris that saw them lose lock Paul Willemse to a red card in the first-half with the player subsequently suspended for four weeks and ruled out of the matches against Scotland and Italy.

The Scots have won five of their last seven Murrayfield meetings with Les Bleus including a 25-21 victory in August last year in a World Cup warm-up match. France were victorious on their most recent Six Nations visit in 2022, triumphing 36-17 in week two on their way to winning a tenth Grand Slam and an 18th title.

As well as competing for crucial Six Nations points, the Auld Alliance Trophy is also up for grabs. The cup was first awarded in 2018, the centenary of the end of World War I, to commemorate the French and Scottish rugby players who were killed during the conflict.
