Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the meeting between Scotland and France, as part of the second day of the Six Nations Tournament. Already certain of missing the grand slam after being defeated by the XV du Trèfle last week, the Blues must win against the XV du Chardon to maintain any hope of winning the competition.
What is it about ? “The match after the match after” for the Blues, who missed their return to competition, three months after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup by South Africa. The French XV will still have to do without Antoine Dupont – busy preparing for the Olympic Games in rugby sevens – and deal with a second line decimated by injuries.
Or ? At Murrayfield, Edinburgh.
At what time ? The match kicks off at 3:15 p.m.
On which channel ? France 2.
Who’s live? From the Millennium Stadium in Austerlitz, Jérôme Porier and Valentin Moinard will be responsible for putting their keyboards to torture to tell you about this meeting. Clément Martel will be on site to write you the report (a little) and enjoy the magnificent Flowers of Scotland (Above all).

What we won’t talk about? Voice actors for video games, increasingly visible stars. Translated into rugby language, we could say that these are shadowy second lines who are starting to score tries.
