Scotland will be looking to bounce back from a defeat to England at Twickenham but lost the last meeting between the two sides in their final game of the 2012 Six Nations.

Parisse led by example in the opening round, scoring the first try of the game at the Stadio Olimpico, but the 29-year-old is in no mood to rest on his laurels.

“Now we are aware we are strong and have shown we are a good team. We have earned the respect of all,” said the No.8.

“But now we also have to be good at managing the expectations that there will be upon us. To start with a win, and in addition against Les Bleus, has a special flavour but we have to be good now to manage the moment.

“The Scots cannot wait to win at home. We must remain humble and recover well physically because in a few days we will have a tough match.”
