(MENAFN- Kora) Les Bleus secured a 19-17 victory over the Scots with a penalty in the dying moments at Murrayfield on Saturday but next face table-toppers Ireland in Paris on Saturday - with the carrot of winning the overall title on the line
Each of England, Ireland and France can clinch the silverware at the weekend, although Ireland hold all the aces as they know a win would guarantee them of their first title since their Grand-Slam winning season in 2009
France must hope England fail to beat Italy in Rome in the early kick-off, to give Philippe Saint-Andre's side a chance at the title
Huget said such a thrilling victory over Scotland would be in vain, should they not get the chance to win the Six Nations crown for the first time since 2010
"Of course, there are always things we can take from that victory against Scotland, we managed to reverse the trend of the match and get a result," Huget said
"Now we cannot throw away that hard work. We must build on this match against Scotland to beat Ireland on Saturday and give ourselves a chance
"We had pressure on the result because everyone expected us to win in Scotland, against a relatively weak team. There was pressure on the result, to stay in the race to win the tournament
"We had this fear to win that inhibited our game in the first half. But we managed to endanger Scotland with good intentions and scored points.
Scrum-half Maxime Machenaud said Ireland are front-runners to seal the title but believes a partisan Paris crowd could be the difference
"Yes, Ireland are the favourites at the moment but we will play at home in front of our audience," Machenaud said
"We must have the will to finish this tournament on a good note. We want to have fun and win this rugby match.
