Scottish player Stuart McInally intends to retire after earning another one of Scotland's 47 caps in the competition in France. McInally stated on the Scotland RWC 2023 Podcast, I am tremendously driven for it. I have no plans to terminate my employment before my contract expires in November. Going to France to try again for the Rugby World Cup 2023 would be incredible. Before we even left the hotel to travel to Newcastle, despite being named to the 2015 team, I had to withdraw owing to an injury. I participated in 2019, but I'd love to try again.

Scotland RWC 2023 training squad

I'm aware that there is fierce competition at hooker, and it will be difficult for me to make the training squad. I'll be doing everything I can to stay in shape and healthy, and hopefully, I've done enough to be included in the conversation. I'll give it my all to make the final squad if I do make the Rugby World Cup 2023 training squad.

Scottish player Stuart McInally, who switched from the back row to the front row early in his career, was one of the top rugby hookers from 2017 through 2019. He was selected by Gregor Townsend to lead Scotland at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan as a result of his strong performances for club and country.

But the outcome of the event was not as he had envisioned. Scottish player Stuart McInally was benched for the pivotal final pool encounter against Japan since a loss in Yokohama would have eliminated Scotland from the competition. It wasn't a good time, according to McInally. The outcomes weren't great, and as captain, you bear a lot of the blame—certainly the media pressures and everything else.

It was quite courageous, and I'm so proud of him.

Concerning the Scotland Rugby World Cup, it's difficult to answer because a variety of factors contributed to the outcomes. I'm still happy I embraced that challenge and rose to the occasion. Scottish player Stuart McInally claimed that his time in Japan helped him comprehend Mike Blair's decision to resign as head coach of Edinburgh.

Blair said the rigors of the position away from the practice pitch had lessened his love of his work and that he now saw his immediate future as returning to his previous role as an assistant coach of Scotland Rugby World Cup 2023 who is more attack-focused. Blair's teammate McInally, who played with Blair when he initially came into the Edinburgh squad, expressed his satisfaction with Mike's choice.

I applaud the fact that he put his heart and energy into the club and had the guts to admit, "Do you know what, this isn't for me," given my own experiences. Going back to 2019 and Scotland's captaincy, it can sometimes take you to reach that point before you know you're not quite ready for something or that it's not the right time for you.

Scottish Rugby has revealed updated season structures for the men's game.

Following consultation with community game stakeholders, Scottish Rugby has confirmed changes to the men's Regional and Reserve League formats for the 2023–24 season. The change in player interest in the adult male game following the Covid-19 pandemic led to the decision to consult on several improvements.

The Club Rugby Board (CRB) last month approved a set of proposals made to the structures by the Competitions team, which is part of the Rugby Development department. The Premiership and four National Divisions, each with ten participating teams, will be among the top five formats in use next year.

Following the passed resolution in the 2022 AGM to expand to four Divisions, this is an expansion of a second National Division. Division 1 of the Caledonia League has already undergone the first of the Regional League modifications. Rugby World Cup 2023 fans can buy Ireland Vs Scotland Tickets from our website.
