FRANCE vs SCOTLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

HEAD TO HEAD

- Scotland have won three of their last five games against France in the Six Nations (L2) after losing 15 of the previous 16 (W1); however, those three wins all came at home.

- Scotland are one of just two nations yet to win in France in the Six Nations, alongside Italy (L10); in fact, they have lost each of their 12 Test games away from home against France in the 21st century, their last win there coming during the final day of the former Five Nations, in April 1999 (36-22).

- France have come back from a losing position at half-time to win on three occasions against Scotland in the Six Nations, more than against any other team in the tournament.

- Should France score 4+ tries and win by 21+ points they would claim the 2021 Six Nations, they’ve managed to do this twice against Scotland before in the Championship, in 2003 and 2007.

- France have failed to score a second half try in two of their last three home games against Scotland in the Six Nations.

COMMON STATISTICS

- Scotland have had more possession (59%) than any other side in the 2021 Six Nations, France (45%) have had the lowest share of any side in the Championship.

- Scotland’s tackle success rate of 93% is the best of any side in the 2021 Six Nations, France have the second best rate (89%) yet have still missed more than twice as many tackles as Scotland (France 79 misses, Scotland 36).

- Four players have broken 15+ tackles in the Six Nations this year, each of them could feature in this match – Scotland’s Duhan van der Merwe (29) and Stuart Hogg (17) and France duo Brice Dulin (17) and Teddy Thomas (15); van der Merwe’s tally is just one short of the record for a single Six Nations campaign (Brian O’Driscoll – 30 in 2000).

- Only England (6.6) have made more dominant tackles per game than France (6.3) at the 2021 Six Nations, whilst Scotland have made the fewest (4.5).

- Scotland (32.3) and France (27.5) have averaged more tackle breaks per game than any other sides at the 2021 Six Nations.

FRANCE vs SCOTLAND GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

FRANCE STATISTICS

- France have scored the opening try of the game in their last 10 consecutive Six Nations games, last failing to open the try-scoring in a Championship match against Ireland in 2019.

- France have conceded fewer penalties per game (8) than any other side in the 2021 Six Nations.

- Despite playing just 289 minutes so far, Gregory Alldritt (France) has hit more defensive rucks (59) than any other player in the 2021 Six Nations, arriving as the first player to 90% of those rucks, teammate Gael Fickou has hit more defensive rucks (33) than any other back in the Championship.

- France have won their last nine home Test matches, their best run since 2002-2004 (W9); they’ve not won 10 in a row at home since 1986-1989 – the 10th victory in that run coming against Scotland.

- France have averaged more kicking metres (980) per game than any other side in the 2021 Six Nations.

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- A third (5/15) of Scotland’s trues in this Six Nations have come on the back of a turnover, the highest share (and tally) of any side in the Championship.

- Scotland have won their last three away games in the Championship, their best run in the Five or Six Nations since 1983-84 (W3); they’ve not won more consecutive away games since a five game run from 1925 to 1927.

- Of the eight players to attempt 10+ kicks at goal in the 2021 Six Nations, Scotland duo Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg have the worst success rates (both 8/11, 73%).

- Scotland have benefited from being awarded more penalties per game (13) than any other side at the 2021 Six Nations.

- Scotland have the lowest lineout success rate (80%) in the 2021 Six Nations of any side, losing 10 of their 51 throws so far, only Ireland (14) have stolen more opposition throws than them (9) however.
