It was his side's third win from five matches - including a victory at Twickenham - as they secured fourth place. Townsend said this week France have the "biggest depth of any nation". Scotland have come to Paris 11 times and won once in the Six Nations, and been dismissed by even poor France sides in the process. They did so again with a narrow opening Six Nations win against Italy, before finally their streak stopped at 14. But if there are creative tensions in the camp, then Townsend's team are well suited to exploiting them.
