The history of rugby union matches between France and Scotland dates back to 1910 when the two teams played against each other in Edinburgh.
Since then there has been a marked shift in favour of France, who have won 27 of the 36 matches between the teams since 1996.
Scotland and France play each other at least once a year, as both participate in the Six Nations Championship, and its predecessor competitions.
The second RWC encounter was a close game, with France coming out victorious, 22–19.
Starting in 2015 France and Scotland have played a one- or two-test warm-up fixture in the lead up to the Rugby World Cup.
