About this episode
The hosts discuss Scotland's performance in the 2026 Calcutta Cup and preview the upcoming match in Cardiff.
Hello and welcome to the Offside Line Pod. After a very gloomy pre-match pod, the boys are in fine fettle as they take a deep dive into the 2026 Calcutta Cup and an all-round Scotland performance for the ages (scrum aside) and preview the round three challenge ahead in Cardiff. If you like what we’re doing on the pod, you’ll love what’s happening on our website. The Offside Line covers the full Scottish rugby picture, international, Premiership, club, grassroots and for just £5 a month you get the full access, plus our subscriber pieces like Beyond the Headlines , where we really get stuck into the detail behind the stories. It’s proper independent rugby journalism, and it only works with your support. So if you can, head to theoffsideline.com and join us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
