Six Nations 2025: Rory Darge hopes Sir Chris Hoy presence can inspire Scotland
Scotland hopes to stop 10 failures against Ireland.
However, Darge, 24, reiterated the message from the Scottish camp throughout the week, saying that their motivations did not end the failed winning streak, but instead stood out from two of the six countries.
The Glasgow Warriors’ back-row form for clubs and countryside – including a great showcase for Italy last weekend – promoted his conversations with the Lions Conference on the Australian summer tour.
He competed with him with a bunch of quality open wings that caught the attention of Lions head coach Andy Farrell, including Sunday’s opposite player Josh van der Fryer ( Josh van der Flier).
“He is world-class,” Darger said of the Irish. “The player who makes him so good is just to consistently play his role to a real, very high standard.
“There are some things you might not see too much on TV and then you watch it back and realize what impact he has in the game.
“But the entire back row will bring a lot of quality around the collapse. We have a huge challenge to get equality there and give ourselves the best chance.”
