At that time France were still regularly challenging for the title, something they have not managed for a while.
Vern Cotter has made two changes to the Scotland side that beat Italy with Josh Strauss and Alex Dunbar coming into the starting XV.
Strauss replaces Ryan Wilson at number eight and Dunbar is chosen at inside centre meaning Mark Bennett drops out.
Meanwhile, France have brought in Francois Trinh-Duc at fly-half as one of six changes to the side that lost to Wales.
Gael Fickou, Scott Spedding and Wesley Fofana are also selected in the back division, while Yacouba Camara and Yoann Maestri come into the pack.
There is something about Russell that makes him a fine player to watch. The 23-year-old was at the centre of Scotland’s vibrancy and swagger at the Rugby World Cup with his all-around
kicking, ability to ghost past defenders and willingness to work hard at the breakdown making him vital to Vern Cotter’s plans during the Six Nations. When he is strutting, the Dark Blues
can do anything.
