Meet the Scotland Rugby Wags as they look to cheer team on to World Cup glory in France | The Sun
THE Rugby World Cup is here and Scotland's attempt at global glory is just about to get underway.
Gregor Townsend's men take on defending champions South Africa in a mouth-watering Pool B opener in Marseille.
Scotland head to the finals in a confident mood with many onlookers quietly hoping history could be made in France.
Fresh off a Six Nations campaign that included a third straight win over England for the first time in more than 50 years, the Scots will need to pull-off some more stunning triumphs at the World Cup.
That's because we find ourselves in the 'group of death' with three of the top-ranked teams on the planet all in the same group.
Fifth-ranked Scotland, defending champions South Africa and the top-ranked team in the world Ireland are all in Pool B – and with just two teams advancing from the five-team group, one of the big guns is guaranteed to fall.
There to cheer on the Scots every step of the way will be the Wags.
From a model to an economist, a nutritionist to an athlete – here are all the proud wives and girlfriends hoping to back their beaus to World Cup glory.
