It's rare to have two deadly Jack in the box wingers face off on opposite flanks in a test match, yet here we are on Saturday evening eager to see who comes out on top.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey, 21, has lit up this year's tournament, scoring seven tries to showcase his incredible nous for the try line, while also punching above his weight in collisions.
France's latest hot talent is chasing down a tournament record, hoping to score two tries which would make him the top scorer in a single campaign.
The more experienced Darcy Graham at 27 has had a quiet tournament by his standards, settling for a solitary score last time out in the win over Wales.
But France will be wary of his ability to step defenders in a phone box on the way to scoring tries, illustrated by a potent record of 30 scores in 46 tests.
Graham touched down for a try in his last meeting with Les Bleus - a 25-21 victory in a World Cup warm up match back in August 2023. However, a torrid time with injuries has halted Graham's momentum since his impressive five tries in four appearances at the showpiece tournament.
In all competitions for club and country, the Edinburgh wing has touched down 10 times in 18 appearances, while Bordeaux-Begles flyer Bielle-Biarrey has found the try line an astonishing 23 times from just 20 outings.
In a Lions year, Graham will be desperate to prove himself against arguably the game's most in-form wing and if he and his fellow defenders put a stop to Bielle-Biarrey's free-scoring, Scotland may be on hand to spoil France's title party in Paris once more.
