Summary

Sara and Ugo are up in Scotland as Gregor Townsend names his World Cup Squad. He explains the decision to drop former captain Stuart McInally, how they are dealing with being in “the pool of death” and why a Hollywood actor is sending them video messages. They also chat with fly-half Finn Russell about playing with such a potent backline. And captain Jamie Ritchie and hooker Ewan Ashman are also in this podcast episode.
