Edinburgh No.8 Stuart McInally has been giving his eve-of-battle take on the second part of this season’s Greaves Sports 1872 Cup double-header against Glasgow Warriors.
The age-old rivals clash for the second time in six days at Murrayfield on Sunday, with kick-off at 5.35pm.
McInally has been named among the Edinburgh replacements for the game, and is in line to sample the unique atmosphere of the inter-city derby for the first time as a player.
In an exclusive video interview with www.edinburghrugby.org, the 20-year-old said: “I’ve watched these games on the TV and in the crowd, and it really makes you want to be a part of them.
“You can see the great rivalry there is: the competition between the two teams is just great. It’s something that every professional player in Scotland wants to be involved in.
“The two games are a highlight in the Scottish rugby season – it’s a great spectacle for every supporter in the country to watch. This weekend there will be players competing for Scotland places as well, so the fans can expect a really exciting game.”
Tickets for Sunday’s game are available online at www.edinburghrugby.org, by calling 0131 346 5180 or by visiting the Murrayfield Ticket Centre (off Roseburn Street) in person.
