Ali Price demands Scotland response after France rout

Gregor Townsend's team began their warm-up to the World Cup in Japan with a 32-3 defeat.

Ali Price says Scotland's crushing loss to France in Nice is a World Cup wake-up call.

Gregor Townsend's team depart for Japan in less than a month but they looked badly out of shape as they kicked off their warm-up schedule with a 32-3 defeat to Les Bleus.

Scotland conceded within the first 90 seconds and were breached four more times at the Allianz Riviera as they were overpowered by a French outfit who looked sharper and fitter.

"I don't think you can use the fact we've had a hard camp so far as an excuse. I'm not speaking on behalf of everyone here, I'm saying in general you have to realise who you are representing and how much do you want this.

"How much do you want to represent your country at a World Cup? Not many people get to do it and I feel like when your backs are against the wall a bit it's hard to remember that.

"You need to scrap and fight for everything. Defence is going to win the World Cup, not attack. The teams that defends the best and is clinical when they have the ball, I firmly believe they will win it.

"Defence is a mindset more than anything, you need to want to hit someone, want to put your body in front of someone. We just lacked that a bit."
