Best thing about Scotland selection is going to be seeing McBeth romping over from 20 metres, on the double dummy scissors ✂️

Bob speaks again to the FM. "That's not what I said. I told you to tell Nick he's a cunt. NOW TELL NICK HE'S A CUNT."

By this point, Spiers was shouting, and the camera crew all took their cans off. The FM said he refused to do it.

Nick Smith waited for a lull. "It's OK. Tell Bob I can hear him."
