## Resource

"It's pretty surreal, if I'm being honest." "I think we're just so focused at the minute on performance, on putting our best version on the field." Scotland lock Grant Gilchrist speaks ahead of Scotland’s Six Nations clash with Ireland national rugby union team. Gilchrist is set to win his 88th Scotland cap, becoming the country’s most capped second row, surpassing former captain Scott Murray. The Scotland stalwart reflects on his journey since making his debut in 2013, what it means to represent Scotland, and the challenge of facing Ireland as Scotland look to compete for the Triple Crown and potentially the Six Nations Championship title. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
