Gregor Townsend: Guinness Six Nations so far

10 Mar 2021

Hosts Al Kellock, Chris Paterson, Rachel Malcolm and Jamie McMillan catch up with Scotland Head Coach, Gregor Townsend to reflect on the Guinness Six Nations so far and look ahead to the remaining Scotland fixtures.

Gregor Townsend gives us his opinion on the opening rounds of the Guinness Six Nations and the postponement of the France game, the privileged position they’re in, with them able to continue to play professional sport through the current pandemic and what it felt like to win away at Twickenham for the first time in 38 years and bring home the Calcutta Cup.

Gregor looks ahead to facing a tough, physical Ireland side this weekend and the planning and preparations in place to finish off the tournament against Italy and France.

Al Kellock, Chris Paterson and Rachel Malcolm review Glasgow’s Guinness PRO14 match away to Zebre last weekend and look ahead to Edinburgh v Connacht and Glasgow Warriors v Ospreys this weekend.

Rachel Malcolm also tells us her three inspirational women in life to celebrate International Women’s Day this week.
