Podcast: Greig Laidlaw

7 Oct 2021

Former Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw joins us on this week's podcast to talk about life in Japan and to look ahead to Scotland's Autumn Nations Series match against the Cherry Blossoms at BT Murrayfield next month.

Laidlaw discusses the test Scotland will face against Japan and with a number of players and coaches having toured with the British & Irish Lions the summer, he believes that will have a positive impact as they return to the international set-up.

He also talks passionately about the return of crowds and what a full BT Murrayfield means to the players.

Chris Paterson, Rachel Malcolm and Jamie McMillan also look back at the URC and FOSROC Super6 action and look ahead to another busy weekend of rugby.

Scotland will face Tonga, Australia, South Africa and Japan at BT Murrayfield over four consecutive weekends from Saturday 30 October. Tickets for the games against Tonga, Australia and Japan are still available, with kids tickets just £1 for Tonga and Japan and adult tickets starting from £11 for Tonga and £16 for Japan.
