SCOTLAND vs FRANCE GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

HEAD TO HEAD

- In the 20 meetings between Scotland and France in the Guinness Six Nations, France have won 17 times. Scotland, however, have won two of the last four meetings between the sides in the Championship.

- France’s 27-point haul against Scotland last year was the most they’ve put up against them in any of their last eight meetings in the Guinness Six Nations.

- While they’ve certainly enjoyed less head-to-head success than France in the Guinness Six Nations, each of Scotland’s three wins have come at Murrayfield, including each of the last two meetings.

- These sides have met on four occasions in Round Four of the Guinness Six Nations, with the most recent coming in 2016 - a 29- 18 Scotland win. France have won the remaining three Round Four fixtures against the Scots by a combined scoreline of 72-27.

- Six of the last eight meetings between Scotland and France in the Guinness Six Nations have been decided by a converted try or less.

COMMON STATISTICS

- The sides are very evenly matched when it comes to opposition 22 entries. Scotland have put up 8.3 per match which is the second-highest average in the Championship, while France trail just behind with 8.0 per game.

- While both sides have produced similar numbers in terms of opposition 22 entries, France (3.25) have scored over three times the number of points per visit that Scotland (0.92) in the 2020 Championship, as France have taken points in 58.3% of their opposition 22 entries.

- Both sides have very similar success at the gain line with France just edging the Scots in terms of metres made per carry. France gain metres with 53.8% of their carries, just ahead of Scotland who also make metres with over half their carries - 51.4%.

- Scotland miss roughly one in every 14 of their tackle attempts (7.0%), while France miss around one in every ten (9.7%). Howev- er, one in every eight of France’s tackles are registered as dominant (12.4%), compared to just one in every ten of Scotland’s (9.7%). Both sides have recorded a turnover with just 1.7% of their tackles.

- Well over half (58.2%) of Scotland’s possession takes place in opposition territory, which is the highest mark in the 2020 Guin- ness Six Nations. Conversely, France spend just 46.0% of their possession in opposition territory - the second-lowest mark behind Italy (43.2%).

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland’s 17-0 victory over Italy last week was their joint-fifth-biggest margin of victory in Guinness Six Nations history. Each of the top three were also against the Italians.

- While Scotland have tasted defeat in each of their last three Guinness Six Nations contests at Murrayfield, which followed a seven-game winning run at the venue, outscoring teams by 92 points across the seven clashes.

SCOTLAND vs FRANCE GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020

SCOTLAND STATISTICS

- Scotland boast the most turnovers won from open play with 18 - a tally that is two more than Ireland, and four more than any other nation in the 2020 Championship.

- Scotland’s Ben Toolis is one of just five players to have recorded multiple lineout steals - alongside Iain Henderson and Peter O’Mahony, Francois Cros and George Kruis.

- Scotland have scored 68.5% of their points in the second half of games in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations - more than any other side. They’re yet to score a try in the opening 20 minutes of a game, a record only they and Italy possess.

FRANCE STATISTICS

- France could win five Guinness Six Nations contests in a row for the first time since a run of eight straight victories between 2009 and 2011. They’ve only won more than twice consecutively on two occasions since that run.

- France last won their opening three games of a Guinness Six Nations campaign back in 2010 - the last time they won the Grand Slam.

- Bernard le Roux leads all players in terms of made tackles so far in the Guinness Six Nations with 62 - seven more than any other player. He’s also got 12 dominant tackles, which ranks second only behind England’s Maro Itoje.

- Gregory Alldritt has an astonishing 49 defensive breakdown arrivals - 11 more than any other player in the competition. He’s also one of just three players who have more than two breakdown steals (3), alongside CJ Stander and Jake Polledri.

- France have the lowest possession share (43.3%) in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, yet they’ve scored 86 points - more than any other team.
