IT IS obviously disappointing that we won’t get to play against South African sides in the Rainbow Cup - they have some really high-quality teams and it would have been good fun to play against them, especially if it had been down there in some warm weather.
OUR results against Ireland in the past few years have been disappointing. Each time we’ve felt that we’ve been on top for much of the match, but crucial moments have gone against us and we’ve ended up on the losing side.
ALTHOUGH I don’t exactly have the fondest of memories of Scotland’s last game against Wales, because that was when I injured my shoulder, the 14-10 win was a really significant result all the same. In fact, it had an impact which could well still be felt when the teams meet again today.
IT IS obviously frustrating that I’m not able to take part in the start of the Six Nations because of injury, but I’ve still felt a real sense of excitement as the first round of games has come nearer.
