FIVE NATIONS WARNING

SCOTLAND captain Bryan Redpath has warned his team’s Five Nations rivals to expect a much improved performance from the Scots this season. Redpath, who joined Wales captain Rob Howley, England’s Lawrence Dallaglio, France’s Raphael Ibanez and Ireland’s Paddy Johns for a sponsorship launch in London on Monday, spelled out to each of them what they can expect from the Scots this winter. “As captain, I have every confidence in my team to go out and play the best rugby possible,” said Redpath.
