Townsend parks title talk with task out of Scottish hands

Scotland must collect more match points in Dublin in the first game of the day than  France manage against England in the late kick-off in Paris.

Gregor Townsend flatly refused to indulge in talk of a first Guinness Six Nations title for Scotland as he outlined the scale of the task still facing his side in their quest to make history.

The Scots go into Super Saturday as one of three teams in the mix for the championship, alongside table-topping France and opponents Ireland.
