Unbeaten France tackle the world and RBS 6 Nations champions on March 27 but Maso claims that Les Bleus must first focus on the job in hand - beating Scotland.

Les Bleus, who have beaten Ireland 35-17, Italy 25-0 and Wales 29-22, have become favourites to win the Grand Slam after England lost to Ireland.

However, first Bernard Laporte's men must face Scotland at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on March 21.

Scotland is our top objective, Maso said. Every time we've had to play the Scots we've always had to remain extremely concentrated.

It's never easy to go and play in Scotland but we have to put ourselves in good condition before we welcome the English in Paris.
