Comentario de partido
No try
For the third time this match, France are denied a try. France have a scrum on the 5.
France's second half woes
France have scored just three second-half points so far this Six Nations while they have conceded 38 in the defeats to Wales and England. I'm sure Scotland will know that more than anyone. The teams are out and Kinghorn gets us underway.
Missed penalty
A miss from Greig Laidlaw? That's a collector's item... The scrum-half's kick from just left of the posts strikes the upright and bounces out. France clear but Scotland are back in possession and are building again into the French 22.
Quick! You've only got until kick off to make any changes to your Fantasy Rugby Team!
Here are a couple of players who could make a difference and score some points this afternoon.
For France, look no further than No. 8 Louis Picamoles who, with 16 points overall, is one of the top-scoring forwards in the game.
For Scotland, Blair Kinghorn benefits from Stuart Hogg's injury and gets a shot at his favoured position of No. 15. He scored a hat-trick against Italy on opening weekend and has an impressive strike rate for the Scots. Back him to get to the line.
Josh Strauss' passport nightmare
Josh Strauss starts for the Scots, but it's fair to say his build up to the game hasn't been ideal.
The No. 8 lost his South African passport just days before the team travelled to Paris, and it was too late to get a replacement.
The situation was swiftly resolved, however, meaning Strauss is available to start, to the relief of Townsend given the number of players already missing from the squad.
Drinks will be on Strauss if the Scots come away with a win, you would imagine...
Parra, Lopez dropped from France team
France coach Jacques Brunel has responded to his side's 44-8 defeat to England two weeks ago by dropping Morgan Parra and Camille Lopez from their matchday squad. Romain Ntamack is one of four changes to the XV and starts at fly-half. Antoine Dupont is at scrum-half and with Thomas Romas starting at full-back, Yoann Huget shifts to the wing and Gael Fickou takes the inside centre spot. Wenceslas Lauret comes into the pack at blind side. How will the team respond?
Scotland forced into four changes
Gregor Townsend has been forced into a reshuffle since the defeat to Ireland two weeks ago. The Scots were dealt a blow when star fly-half Finn Russell was concussed playing for French club side Racing 92 last weekend, while Stuart Hogg is out due to a shoulder injury picked up in the Ireland defeat. Hogg and Russell join centre Huw Jones and flanker Ryan Wilson, who are both nursing knee injuries, on the sidelines, leaving resources stretched.
Peter Horne gets the nod at No. 10 in place of Russell, Blair Kinghorn comes in for Hogg at full-back, Nick Grigg wins his seventh cap at centre while Magnus Bradbury starts in the back-row.
Good afternoon and welcome to ESPN's live commentary of the Six Nations clash between France and Scotland.
The Scots last won in Paris in 1999 but will fancy their chances this afternoon against a dysfunctional France team, who spectacularly collapsed against Wales on the opening weekend before they were thrashed by England two weeks ago.
The away side have been ravaged by injuries, however, and are missing Stuart Hogg, Finn Russell, Huw Jones and Ryan Wilson, to name a few, from the XV that beat Italy on the opening weekend.
We'll bring you all the team news and build up before kick off at 2:15 p.m. GMT.
