France swept Ireland aside 27-15 in Belfast last weekend and come into this game as strong favourites.

Wing Marine Menager is one to keep an eye on - she scored one try in the win over Ireland and the 28-year-old also scored two tries against England last year.

Full-back Morgane Bourgeois had a 100% record off the kicking tee against Ireland, scoring 12 points.

• France have lost just two of their previous 22 Guinness Women’s Six Nations matches against Scotland (W19, D1) and are unbeaten in their last 13 (W12 D1); their last meeting in France resulted in a 55-0 victory for Les Bleues in Vannes in 2023.
• France have won 43 of their 44 Guinness Women’s Six Nations home games against sides other than England (L1), including each of their last 41 by an average margin of 29 points, however, their only previous defeat did come against Scotland (14-19 in 2003).

• Scotland have won five of their last eight Guinness Women’s Six Nations matches (L3), as many victories as in their preceding 66 outings combined (D2 L59), however, they have lost each of their previous 17 Round 2 fixtures.
• Scotland won two of their three away games in the 2024 Guinness Women’s Six Nations (L1), having won just one of their previous 39 games on the road (D1, L37) – their only away defeat last year came by a margin of just three points (12-15 v Ireland).

• Scotland made 10 line breaks against Wales in Round 1, the most of any side last weekend; in fact, it was more than they made across their last four matches of the 2024 Guinness Women’s Six Nations (9) – they failed to make a single line break against France last year, the only time Les Bleues haven’t conceded any in a Championship fixture this decade.

• Scotland winger Francesca McGhie made the most line breaks (4) and beat the most defenders (10) of any player across the opening round of this year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations – McGhie made a line break and beat four defenders in just eight minutes of game time during her only previous Championship match against France, in 2023.

Scotland head coach Bryan Easson has chosen Jade Konkel to start in place of the suspended Evie Gallagher for this afternoon's match.

It is the sole change from Scotland's win over Wales in the opening round of the tournament.

Gallagher was shown a red card last weekend after a review for an illegal clear-out on Wales' replacement hooker Kelsey Jones and was subsequently banned for one game.

There could be debuts for prop Molly Poolman and second row Becky Boyd who are among the replacements.

Leah Bartlett remains on the bench after her try against Wales.

France: Bourgeois, Arbey, Menager, Amedee, Llorens, Arbez, Sansus; Brosseau, Bigot, Bernadou, M Feleu, Fall, Escudero, Okemba, T Feleu.

Replacements: Riffonneau, Mwayembe, Joyeux, Zago, Berthoumieu, L Champon, A Champon, Queyroi.

Scotland: Rollie, Lloyd, Orr, Thomson, McGhie, Nelson, Brebner-Holden; Young, Skeldon, Clarke, Cunningham, Bonar, Malcolm (capt), McLachlan, Konkel.

Replacements: Martin, Bartlett, Poolman, Ferrie, Boyd, Stewart, Mattinson, Wills.

Round two of the Women's Six Nations gets under way in La Rochelle this afternoon, as Scotland face France hoping to build on last weekend's win over Wales.

France were also victorious in their opening game, beating Ireland, and will be cheered on by a sell-out crowd on the west coast.

Kick-off is half an hour away, so let's crack on.
