Six Nations: Has Townsend finally run out of time?

BBC Radio Scotland Rugby Podcast

Available for 28 days

Tom and Andy analyse Scotland’s disastrous start to the Six Nations and lack lustre performance against Italy. They answer audience questions on team selection, the use of the bench, the mounting pressure on Gregor Townsend and they look forward to the Calcutta Cup. Why did Scotland persist with a game plan that clearly wasn’t working? At what point does Townsend damage his legacy by remaining in post? Why can’t Scotland get to the next level? Why did Italy look like they wanted it more? Tom and Andy chat through it all
