Kelly Brown wary of France ahead of weekend clash

Scotland captain Kelly Brown has admitted that this weekend's Six Nations match against France will be an "incredibly tough test".

The Saracens flanker, who was dropped from the national side following the tournament opener against Ireland, returns to the fold ahead of Saturday's Murrayfield clash.

"The French will be an incredibly tough test," Brown is quoted as saying by the Belfast Telegraph.

"After the first two matches everybody was tipping France for the Championship, so they're an incredibly tough side and we know that we need to be at our best to challenge them on Saturday."

Scotland are fifth in the Six Nations table after four games, trailing leaders Ireland by two points.
