Lineen has made one change to the team that recorded their first victory in the tournament against Italy at Stadio Mirabello, as scrum-half Roan Frostwick swaps places with Kyle McGhie who moves to the bench.

The visitors go into the game on the back of narrow losses against Wales and England, with their only victory being against Italy in the second round of the competition.

Lineen said: “France pose a huge physical challenge for us and will be looking to bounce back from their defeat against Wales.

“Both teams are looking to get their second win of the tournament so it’s sure to be a massive test.

“We’re looking forward to playing at home again and will be looking for the crowd to get behind the boys.”

If you can’t make it along to Netherdale, you can watch the match live on Scottish Rugby TV on scottishrugby.org.
