SCOTLAND hooker Fraser Brown knows it will be anything but easy when Glasgow visit Toulouse in the European Champions Cup on Sunday.

After all, the French giants have won the senior continental competition four times - winning 99 of the 140 matches they have played, including five out of six against the Scots - and have one of the biggest packs in world rugby.

Yet Brown feels confident they can stop the juggernaut and pinpoints the scrum as a key factor.

He said: "Until the weekend our scrum was up and down, maybe 40 minutes of good scrummaging and then a few bad ones. We have put emphasis on our concentration, we cannot go in and scrum really well on our own five-metre line and then go 30 metres up the pitch and slacken off.

"There was a big emphasis on that last weekend, which showed because we got four penalties.

"This will be more of the same. It is a case of getting our drills right, getting our height right and making sure we concentrate for every one.

"We look to play rugby off the back of the scrum. If we have a powerful scrum, we want to go forward and exploit the space in the backline.

"The French like to get penalties, kick it into the corner and set up line-out drives, so they probably see it in a slightly different way

"We are confident in the way we scrummage and if we scrummage well, it does not matter who we come up against. There are always going to be one or two or three in a game where you don't quite get the rub of the green.

"It's about flushing that, going to the next one and making sure you get solid ball."

His rising status in the game is vindication for Brown who was axed by Edinburgh after a period out injured. He worked relentlessly on his fitness, signed for Glasgow and before he had even played for them earned his first Scotland cap in South Africa last year.
