Scottish Rugby Podcast

Anyone got an Ireland top that Leslie can borrow next week?

Are we ready yet to have the conversation about just how much everyone outside Scotland (maybe even outside Glasgow) has slept on Kyle Steyn?

Seems like wearing white was a misstep for France, we appear to think they're England

DARCY FUCKING GRAHAM

The cheer that went up in our house at the sight of Meatball there

The pod returns to its regular schedule this evening, let's have your #HandsInTheRuck to go with it

We do actually like each other, the smiles just look forced because we were watching Scotland

Just for the record, still sack him

THAT'S WHY YOU BRING ON DARCY FUCKING GRAHAM

Let's be clear that THAT Wales team looked at this game in the schedule and thought, "we can win that" and they're right.

That's an issue.

At least the Principality has form for someone getting sacked in the car park

Nice try from Scottish castoff Fraser Dingwall to end the half there...you're welcome, England

TFW it's Wales Week and we realise we forgot to ask @edjenx.bsky.social on...

Much less to complain about this week, but as usual #HandsInTheRuck most welcome for tonight's pod

He's in his shed,
In his she-e-e-ed,
O'Mahony,
O'Mahony,
O'Mahon-ey-ey-ey

Truly the most Munster person the world has ever seen

The question stays the same, the answers get more predictable...#HandsInTheRuck please for later

"right lads, it's been a pleasure...I'm gonna catch this Ryanair to Newcastle, Franco will collect you in Edinburgh"

There should end Townsend's post match team talk

Time to start pumping Braveheart on a loop into Gregor Hiddleston's room, he's starting in the Calcutta Cup next week

Lads if the broadcaster has posted a camera on your substitute hooker on the bench is that a bad sign?

You know when you're with your grandparents but you don't respect them so they phone your dad up to give you a bollocking and get you back in line?

Do you think Franco is busy?

Sione looks like he's not come to fuck around today

Why is everyone doing our thing now?! Leave your music on you patter-thieving bunch of pricks

IT'S ONLY BLOODY OWAIN GLYNDWR!

Wales's number one guy, their top hero, most favourite folk legend guy. Mercenary for the English and grumpy landlord.

Have a great Six Nations everyone

This is "jump the shark" baddy stuff now, even the English don't want nobles from their army stealing from the king.

There's an obvious question though, "what does this have to do with the Six Nations? How will this story, excellent villain and all, come in useful to any of us?"

But the aristocracy aren't used to hearing "no", so our guy hooked up with 2 fellow lords from the English army and decided to not only take his land back but steal some more, using the skills and money gained in the English army for personal gain...

Being a landowner is where our "hero's" problems start, because his neighbouring lord took some of his land. So, like any self-respecting blue blood, he wrote to the king to say, "I have fought to further the glory of England, make him give me my land back." And the king said, "no."

Our story begins with a soldier in the English army...bad start, right? Very few good things have happened to any Six Nations country where the English army are involved. Not just a soldier but a lord, a nobleman and landowner. SERIOUS baddy vibes.

It's Sixmas Eve, a time for rivalries, anticipation and giving. Our gift to you all this year is a story, it's a history story, one that hopefully we can all come back to during times when our inspiration is low over these next few weeks...

Zander was always the best prop in the Six Nations

...but also, no
