Scotland need their best to halt French 'juggernaut' - Dalziel

Forwards coach John Dalziel says Scotland will have to deliver their best performance of the Six Nations to stop the French "juggernaut" at Murrayfield on Saturday and keep their title hopes alive.

France have swept all before them in the tournament so far, with thumping victories over Ireland, Wales and Italy.

Scotland know an upset victory would see them go into the final weekend with a genuine shot at the title for the first time in the Six Nations era.

Many feel Les Bleus are on an unstoppable surge towards a Grand Slam, and a bonus-point win in Edinburgh would seal the title with one round to spare.

"In terms of the Six Nations, in terms of their form the last couple of years, there's not a bigger challenge really," Dalziel said.

"The way that they are, a bit of a juggernaut at the moment, they're coming with everything to gain at the weekend as well at Murrayfield.

"We're just internalising everything, basically making sure that we're really happy with where we are and we've got to have our game of the tournament so far to make sure we get the win at the weekend.

"They just have such a vast amount of players and what they are able to do is pick the lads in form. You've seen a lot of these guys in the European rounds for their clubs play so well and they have the ability to make changes as well at will and still look formidable. That's a really strong squad.

"They've got great strength and depth, as have we. We Know what we need from our game to rival them at the weekend and give them a match. Now we're really looking forward to the challenge."
