(Reuters) - Scotland’s first-choice flyhalf Finn Russell will be available for the re-arranged Six Nations clash against France next week after being ruled out against Italy this weekend, coach Gregor Townsend said.

Russell has been going through concussion protocols this week after going off against Ireland in Scotland's narrow 27-24 defeat at Murrayfield last Sunday.
