Can Scotland cause an upset?

Chris is joined by a VIP guest on this episode of the pod – Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend, ahead of arguably the biggest game of the weekend – Ireland against Scotland. The pair chat about his team selection and how his players have what it takes to beat this Irish side. Continuing with the Celtic theme the episode wouldn’t be complete without Tom English who pops up on the pod from Paris alongside BBC Scotland’s Andy Burke. The pair divulge on their time deep inside the Scotland camp and give their take on the sides strengths and weaknesses – and we couldn’t let Tom go without getting his unique insight into the Ireland team too.
