Download Six Nations: Reasons to believe
Tom and Andy look forward to Scotland's Six Nations opener against Italy, answer audience questions and discuss the 2027 Rugby World Cup schedule. Is it hope or dread for Scotland fans in the run up to the competition? Can Scotland go into round four with something to really play for? How much does Gregor Townsend need a good Six Nations to regain favour with Scotland rugby fans? Does the new condensed competition format put Scotland at a disadvantage compared to England or France and how might player injury affect Scotland’s potential in the competition? Tom and Andy chat through it all.
