Andy Burke and Tom English are joined by Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend on the day he names his squad for the Six Nations. We find out why Gregor Hiddleston missed out - and would selecting 10 or even 11 Glasgow Warriors cause a problem? How much influence has the forthcoming World Cup had on his selection plans? With the opening Test in Rome looming, are Scotland ready - and are Italy the favourites? Plus: “They are an attacking wonder” - why Glasgow Warriors are now serious contenders in Europe.
