Gregor Townsend believes Scotland have shown enough quality against France in recent seasons to go to Paris with optimism for Saturday night's Guinness Six Nations finale.

The Scots face what their head coach described as "probably the biggest challenge in world rugby right now" as they bid to stop Les Bleus landing the victory they are likely to require to seal a first title since 2022 at Stade de France.
