Scotland v France

13 April 2012

While many in the French camp, including coach Bernard Laporte, are refusing to talk about a Six Nations Grand Slam, hooker Raphael Ibanez is not so shy.

Les Bleus face Scotland at Murrayfield tomorrow as the only unbeaten team in the tournament, having seen off Italy, Wales and England. And Ibanez said: "We should not hesitate to speak about the Grand Slam. We have to aim at this objective while keeping our feet on the ground.

"It is important to beat Scotland because it will prepare us for a great final match against Ireland on 6 April."

Scotland coach Ian McGeechan admitted: "The French could have beaten England by 20 points and we are under no illusions about the effort that needs to be put in tomorrow."

John Leslie, the Northampton centre, is back in a Scotland squad that will again rely on the line-out ball provided by Saracens lock Scott Murray.
