Scotland coach Gregor Townsend wants his side to be more clinical in the opponent's 22 and cut out unforced errors ahead of a crunch Six Nations clash with table-toppers France in Paris next Saturday.

Gregor Townsend has told his Scotland players to embrace “the toughest fixture in world rugby” as they bid to try and stop rampant France.

Scotland has treated Murrayfield to a show in its last home Six Nations game and given Wales a record-extending 16th consecutive defeat by 35-29 in Edinburgh

As Russell, asked to explain the “frustrating” dip that he watched from the bench as his team were pulled back to 35-29, put it: “I think it's probably the mental side. I think we need to find that ruthless edge of just putting teams away.

"He was sitting at a bus stop with a knife in each hand. When police turned up, he ran towards them, without saying a word."

Zander Fagerson says Scotland must "right our wrongs" when they host Wales in the Six Nations on Saturday. Gregor Townsend's side are fourth in the standings after successive defeats by Ireland and England, while Wales are yet to win and prop up the table.

Scotland is likely to miss climate target by up to 20 million tonnes (MT) of CO2 equivalent (MTCO2e), according to The Guardian. The Scottish government has set a target date for net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045.

All sorts of scenarios are possible, but England’s most feasible route to reclaiming the Six Nations trophy involves winning their remaining matches against Italy (at Twickenham this Sunday) and Wales (in Cardiff on Saturday, 15 May) and ideally in doing so to reach their maximum possible total of 20 match points.

The company said it will run one extra service in each direction on Saturday in addition to its usual timetable.
