Andy Farrell's men will top the group if they win the match, but things are a bit more complicated if they lose
Scotland must either secure a bonus-point victory or deny the world’s top-ranked side a losing bonus point in the Stade de France on Saturday night.They will either have to win by at least an eight-point margin or by scoring at least four tries.In that case, the winner of the Pool would then be decided on points difference, with second place going to whichever team won the head-to-head between the two remaining sides.
With that in mind, this is all you need to know going into next weekend's all-important blockbuster clash. Price in place of White is the only change to the team that started the match against South Africa on the opening weekend of the tournament.
