Kick-off approaching

Welcome to the match centre for Scotland’s first match of the Nations Championship. It’s been a busy day of rugby so far and Gregor Townsend’s men round off the action. Live on ITV4.

The Nations Championship sees the world’s best teams from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres go head-to-head across two connected series: three rounds in July (replacing the old summer tours) and three rounds in November (replacing the old autumn tests).

As the international game enters a new era, Scotland will face a blockbuster run of fixtures against Argentina, South Africa and Fiji in July before returning to Scottish Gas Murrayfield in November for a trio of unmissable home Tests against New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
