PRE-MATCH REPORT 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.
