Scotland coach Gregor Townsend is confident that his squad will find their four Rugby World Cup warm-up matches “invaluable experiences” in the countdown to the tournament in France.
The fixtures, announced yesterday, begin and end with home games, against Italy and Georgia respectively. Those two matches sandwich two games against the French, one at home and another at a venue in France yet to be decided.
“Two thousand and twenty-three is a huge year for our national team and after the Guinness Six Nations our focus will quickly turn to the Rugby World Cup,” Townsend said in a Scottish Rugby press release. “All four fixtures will provide invaluable experiences in our preparation for the tournament.
