Six Nations: Gregor Brown ‘won’t take a backward step’ against France
As the first six countries began to develop, it became increasingly difficult for the French team to compete for French dominance against the French champions under the lights.
This is exactly what Scotland locks up Gregor Brown will be in Paris on Saturday night.
Many feel that Scotland’s second row (in the form of Grant Gilchrist and Jonny Gray) are two excellent test servants – a lack of energy in this championship game, which may explain why Gregor Townsend turned to the 23-year-old Glasgow fighter to add some youthful energy.
“He just turned into the true highest quality, the fourth nut and bolt,” said BBC Pundit, former Glasgow teammate Fraser Brown.
“He may be a little short, but he lacks a little bit of height and certainly he won’t work hard.
“Defensively, he works very hard. His backward work in the second row is like a back row. Good queue option, quick off the floor.
“He is very physically, grinding, aggressive. He works hard and makes money every time.
“He has really good carry height. The ball is very good. You get the ball from him.”
