EDINBURGH : Scotland’s daunting task at the Rugby World Cup in France in September will not be made any easier by the sudden retirement of former captain Stuart Hogg, his long-standing team mate Finn Russell said on Monday.
Hogg, who earned 100 caps for Scotland, and Russell played against each other when they were as young as eight-years-old and played together for Glasgow. "I think we just got to go game by game, everyone knows what we've got coming up against us. We've got to prepare ourselves over the next three four weeks and get ourselves in as good shape as possible to take on South Africa. Two years ago we ran them really close and it was just the last 15 minutes they kind of pulled away,” he said.
