Scotland will be looking to extend their winning run
Ahead of the Six Nations many would fire up a France v Scotland live stream and assume France would be the ones still on track for a Grand Slam. However, it is Scotland who have had the perfect start to the tournament.
Gregor Townsend’s team defeated England and Wales to be in a great position heading into the third round. France won their first match against Italy but fell to Ireland in Dublin. They will need to beat Scotland and for another team to topple Ireland to have a chance at defending their title.
It will be a tough match in Paris on Sunday. France will be favourites but Scotland are in with a shot. The Scots are also boosted by the return of flanker Hamish Watson. He will feature in his first match of the 2023 Six Nation after recovering from a head injury.
This match is not one you want to miss. Read below on how you can tune in from wherever you are in the world.
