## Resource

In this podcast I was joined by Glasgow statistician and writer Kevin Millar to tackle the hottest topics in Scottish rugby. Kevin explains how South African Franco Smith has made such a positive impact at Glasgow Warriors and the traits that make them such a brilliant team. We then turn our attention to Gregor Townsend and his legacy as Scotland head coach. Is he unfairly criticised or has he wasted a golden generation? The South African Genius Who Can Save Scotland. Why Scottish Rugby Is In Purgatory. #scotland #rugby #podcast #sixnations #analysis #coaching #debate #wales #glasgow Follow Kevin on twitter: https://x.com/topofthemoonGW Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Chapters 0:00 A Glasgow Man 3:16 Stats Frustrations 8:13 Glasgow Success Secrets 16:51 Fantastic Franco Smith 21:55 The Forwards Issue 26:08 Scotland In Purgatory? 33:13 The Edinburgh Problem 35:20 David Nucifora Impact 41:15 Gregor Townsend Legacy 48:15 Would Franco Be Better?
