Podcast: Andy Christie & Ciaran Beattie

20 Jan 2022

This week we're joined by Andy Christie following his call-up to the Scotland squad for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations and Ciaran Beattie chats about the return of Scotland 7s.

Jamie McMillan, Chris Paterson and Rachel Malcolm discuss the 39-man Scotland squad which Gregor Townsend has selected for the 2022 Guinness Six Nations, which kicks off on 5 February with the Calcutta Cup match against England at BT Murrayfield.

One man who has been called up for the first time is Saracens backrower Andy Christie and he joins us to talk about how he found out about the call-up, who he told first and what it means to him.

Chris and Rachel also catch up with Scotland 7s Head Coach Ciaran Beattie ahead of the return of Scotland 7s competing on the World Series this weekend in Malaga.
