between Finn Russell and Gregor Townsend going back a little while. Catastrophic news for Scotland.
I worked with Gregor since twenty twelve, he was the Glasgow coach then, so fourteen years you're obviously gonna have a one, two, however however many bust ups it is.
I think the f with the way that Finn has dealt with that is to his credit. He doesn't bear grudges, it's just it's been that's gone, move on to the next one. I'm Finn Russell and this is in our drive.

Gamer, um disappointing night for for Ireland, won a loss. Uh what's your thoughts on the game?
Yeah, just disappointed like you said, uh in the opening it was um many things that didn't click for us tonight. I think individually a lot of players had an off day. Um collectively we we were disjointed, both defending and attacking. Um yeah, and we lost the du the dueling in in the basics. So th I think they were they were hard at working on us. They won more duels, they won more one we ones. Um and created much more chances than us so Uh I was hoping that we we would survive with uh with a draw in the end, but um It was fair and they scored the goal to be honest.
On the goal, um there might have been a foul in Darrow She. I know a couple of times you made a point of maybe Troy Pardon shit I was like Benny weren't getting the benefit of free kicks when the ball has gone up um to the top end of the pitch. Do you feel like he might have been fouled before the goal?
We thought so from the bench seeing seeing it from our our video or our screen we thought it was a foul in in the back. Um I think if the ref would have given a foul, I think then it would have been a foul. It kinda was could have m been a foul, could could have uh given the goal and he gave the goal initially so it needs to be clear that it's a foul to change the the the original. So yeah. Uh Um I was more disappointed that they could always foul the free player when we had a counterattacking option. Always the highest player without the ball was fouled. So they took away our counterattacking option and uh it's very strange that they didn't give free kicks and yellow cards for that one. Why do you think the team is so disjointed tonight?
Could be a lot of reasons. I I'm not gonna give about it on that one, but is unusual for us that we have so many that have enough day. Um So yeah, we w we need to look at that but be quick because it's uh it's two days turnaround and we have another game against Israel.
Thanks very much. Off the ball daily. Uh pretty chasing night out there. Um what's your immediate thoughts after the game?
Yeah, disappointing. Um disappointing performance, disappointing result. Uh don't think we did enough to to warrant a win at all. I thought we were holding on for a draw and yeah, I think we as a group, you know, we should be striving for more as a as a team. Uh we've been in a good a good bit of momentum recently and tonight obviously we've come away with a disappointing result so we're gonna have to assess what happened tonight. Mm. Um, again, could have easily held on to a point tonight and maybe we'll come away thinking that's a good away point, but it's not and we're s standing here and we've we've lost the game.
On the goal itself, uh, you had a bit of a conversation with the referee. Did you feel like you might have been fouled in the build up?
Yeah, I definitely felt like it um i it led to the goal in the way. I mean I got ahead in the ball but I think where I've been felled and and supposedly pushed in the back with a with a little bit of a tug as well, I think it's you know, made the ball fall where it has and I'm on the floor then for the for the second one.
