Grant Gilchrist refuses to ponder international retirement because he remains convinced Gregor Townsend’s Scotland are on the cusp of something “really special” despite another underwhelming Guinness Six Nations.

The 34-year-old Edinburgh lock won his 80th cap in Paris on Saturday night as France ran out 35-16 winners over the Scots to seal a first title since 2022.
