Fabien Galthie has driven sky-high standards throughout his coaching career - but he has not always made friends on the way.

Former Scotland number eight Johnnie Beattie believes Gregor Townsend's men are "capable of the extraordinary" and wouldn't be surprised to see them beat France on Saturday. Fabien Galthie's French side travel to Murrayfield knowing a bonus-point win will make them Six Nations champions with a game to spare. A home victory would allow Scotland to head to Ireland on the final day with a genuine shot at a first title in 27 years.

France's rugby coach Fabien Galthie has lauded Italy's team, referring to them as a 'success story'.
