Kelly Brown is set to meet the man charged with leading Scotland forward this weekend – and he’s relishing the challenge at Twickenham.

Brown’s club side Saracens face Clermont Auvergne in the European Cup – the French outfit coached by soon-to-be Scotland chief Vern Cotter.

Cotter was confirmed as Scotland’s next head coach last year – watching on as they finished fifth in this year’s RBS 6 Nations.

Brown endured a tough RBS 6 Nations campaign after being stripped of the captaincy and dropped after their opener to Ireland but was restored for the final two matches.

And ahead of a meeting with new Scotland coach Cotter – who will start his role in June – Brown admits he is excited about what lies ahead.

“They have a lot of strengths and not a huge number of weaknesses but, like any side, they can be put under pressure,” he said.

“We know they’re a good side, but we know we are as well. We will go into the game with confidence.

“We have been playing consistently this season. When we get it right, we’re a hard side to beat.”
