Hello and welcome back to the Thistle, the original podcast that cares about Scottish rugby. The road to World Cup glory may have begun, but we never said it wasn't filled with the odd pothole. We run the rule over that fairly horrific evening in Nice and see if we can take any positives (Rory Hutchinson anyone)? At least we have the chance to make things right this weekend, against France, again, hmm.

Hello and welcome back to the Thistle, the original podcast that cares about Scottish rugby. The road to World Cup glory starts here. We are back with a vengeance as we approach the official start of the World Cup year, to look ahead to the first of Scotland's warm up matches against France this weekend. We also take in the Super 6 rebranding campaign currently underway and Alan provides us with the first of many factually inaccurate quizzes.

Hello and welcome back to the Thistle, the original podcast that cares about Scottish rugby. Just like Glasgow we are back after a couple of weeks off to look ahead to this weekend's Pro 14 semifinal versus Ulster and to give our take on the recently announced Scotland world cup squad (which is also the subject of another terrifically niche quiz). As ever, make sure to like and subscribe on iTunes, and follow us on the usual social media channels - Twitter: @thistlerugbypod Instagram: thistle_rugby_pod Email: [email protected].

Welcome back to the Thistle, the original Scottish rugby podcast. This week we are joined by Matt Fagerson to help us review a resounding Glasgow Warriors victory in the final 1872 cup fixture. We also take a look back at an action-packed Silver Saturday at BT Murrayfield, and Alan provides us with a delightfully niche quiz on the life and times of Scotland stalwart Ross Ford.

Welcome back to the Thistle.
