JacPod To the Last Drop

Scotland primed to flower

--:--
The improved performances of their teams in the United Rugby Championship will stand Scotland in good stead during their Autumn Series and beyond. SA-born Glasgow Warriors coach Franco Smith tells the To The Last Drop podcast Scotland will give a better account of themselves when they play the Springboks at Murrayfield on Sunday compared to the 18-3 defeat they suffered in the Rugby World Cup in Marseille last year. Smith has brought a steely mentality to his players' improved conditioning and physicality and Scotland will also reap the benefit with the high number of Warriors now in their ranks.
Respected author and pundit Pete Burns also runs the rule over Scotland and their prospects against the Boks.
