Podcast: Gregor Townsend from the Lions camp
20 Jul 2021
Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend joins us from the British & Irish Lions camp in South Africa ahead of the first Test against the Springboks this weekend.
The Lions Assistant Coach tells us how preparations are going and what they’re expecting from the current Rugby World Cup champions. He also reflects on a disappointing summer for Scotland, with all three games cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
