Scotland number 8 Kelly Brown in action

The Saracens player (who is set to earn his 41st cap) also spoke of his belief in Scotland’s approach to the game, as they aim to break an 12 year spell of no wins at the Stade de France.

Brown told www.scottishrugby.org: “It’s going to be a huge first twenty minutes to try and silence the crowd and get the crowd on the French team’s back. After that it’s the French that will face the real psychological questions.”
