    There's a smile on the face of Grant Gilchrist when the chat turns to Finn Russell and what Edinburgh might have in store for the Scotland fly-half.

    The veteran lock, close to 14 years an Edinburgh man, knows all about Bath's status as the runaway leaders in England's Premiership.

    "This can be a tough place to play, whoever you are," he says, on the latest Scotland Rugby Podcast.

    "We've got so much respect for Finn and for Bath as a team, but they've got a proposition on their hands if they think they're coming up here just to have a walk in the park.
