With the URC about to burst back into life, Ryan Wilson is bullish about Scottish rugby’s prospects. Speaking ahead of the opening round, the Premier Sports pundit tipped the country’s clubs to thrive — and promised to bring a little chaos to the coverage along the way.

Scottish optimism

Wilson’s assessment reflects a broader mood of momentum: competitive squads, a clear identity and the appetite to take big scalps home and away. Consistency remains the currency of the URC, and Scottish sides will back their depth to sustain a challenge across a long campaign.

Storylines to watch

  • Can Scottish clubs translate strong patches into season-long form?
  • How will emerging players handle the step up in responsibility?
  • What tactical wrinkles will define the early rounds?

Pundit’s promise

On air, expect Wilson to mix sharp analysis with straight-talking humour — and yes, the occasional bout of chaos.
