And with Les Bleus' Wesley Fofana having moved back into the centre after starting the tournament out on the wing, Scott is relishing the challenge of going up against the Clermont Auvergne man.
Scott, however, knows that taking on France in their own back yard is no easy feat.
But with memories of RaboDirect PRO12 side Edinburgh beating Toulouse in last year's Heineken Cup quarter-final still fresh in his mind, the 22-year-old is not about to throw in the towel any time soon.
"If selected then I am really looking forward to going head-to-head with Fofana," Scott told The Scotsman.
"He is one of the best No 12s in world rugby because of his footwork and ability to beat players one-on-one.
"Fofana will certainly be very different to Jamie Roberts, whom I have just faced against Wales. Roberts is a bigger, more direct guy in the way he carries ball up.
"Coming up against players with different skills and abilities is part of the Six Nations experience although it will be hard to analyse this particular French team.
"On their day France can be world class but they have had a disappointing championship by their standards. Who knows which French side will turn up?
"What I suspect from playing in France with Edinburgh is that if things aren't going well for the home team the local fans don't so much tend to encourage as start booing.
"That could work in our favour especially if we are in the game around the hour mark and the Paris crowd don't see their team getting on top.
"What I can also take encouragement from is Edinburgh's Heineken European Cup quarter-final win over Toulouse a year ago as a lot of their players are still involved with France ."
