France Preview with Stuart Hogg & Johnnie Beattie

25 Mar 2021

Hosts Chris Paterson and Rachel Malcolm catch up with former Scotland international Johnnie Beattie, who joins from the South of France, and Scotland Captain Stuart Hogg to look ahead to France v Scotland tomorrow night.

Johnnie Beattie lets us know what it was like to be in the stadium for France v Wales last weekend, the enjoyment watching England v Scotland in Round 1 of the Guinness Six Nations and Scotland’s journey throughout the tournament so far and looks forward to a final big game on Friday night, where France need to win by 21 points to become Guinness Six Nations Champions.

Stuart Hogg reviews a record win over Italy, how he was nervous to play at number 10 and the opportunity Scotland have as a team tomorrow night to beat France and finish second in the Guinness Six Nations.

Rachel Malcolm prepares to return to camp for Scotland’s Six Nations campaign against England and Italy and lets us know how it feels to pull on the Scotland shirt again.

Chris Paterson & Rachel Malcolm review Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors PRO14 performances from the weekend, Rufus McLean’s incredible try against the Dragons and the disciplinary issues and law changes which will need to be addressed by most teams moving into the PRO14 Rainbow Cup.
