Nations Championship: Inside Scotland Camp - Lessons, Fatherhood and the All Blacks

With Scotland's Nations Championship campaign fast approaching, Tom English and Andy Burke head inside the national team camp to speak to some of the squad's biggest names and emerging talents. Seb Stephen reflects on the unconventional journey that took him from rejection in Scotland to rugby development in New Zealand and ultimately a Scotland cap. Blair Kinghorn discusses fatherhood, life in France and what Scotland must improve to compete consistently with the world's best. Finn Russell talks marriage, Bath, approaching 100 caps and why Scotland still have another level to reach, while Jack Dempsey opens up about life in Japan, his ambitions of playing at a World Cup in Australia and what separates good teams from great ones. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, stories and ambitions driving Scotland ahead of a huge autumn campaign.
