Finn Russell has returned from concussion to be included in Scotland's side for Friday's Six Nations trip to France. Scotland captain Stuart Hogg, who plays his club rugby for English and European champions Exeter Chiefs, has been retained but moves to his familiar fullback position after covering for Russell. If France score four tries or more and defeat Scotland by at least 21 points, they will be crowned outright champions. It is 22 years since Scotland last beat France in Paris, with flyhalf Townsend one of the stars in a 36-22 victory. That victory followed Scotland's long wait for a win on Welsh soil during last year's Autumn Nations Cup.
