Rollie inspired to push for Lions recognition
Chloe Rollie says the British and Irish Lions' series win in Australia has fuelled her desire to be part of the inaugural women's tour in first female Lions squad will head for New Zealand in two years' time and Scotland full-back Rollie would love to be part of that historic says watching Andy Farrell's Lions – featuring the likes of Scotland's Finn Russell, Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones and Blair Kinghorn – defeat the Wallabies this summer gave her a taste of what might be possible in her own future."I think in the past it's not really had that effect because it was it was never an opportunity that we thought we were going to have," Rollie told the BBC Scotland Rugby Podcast."Now watching it and seeing all the different nations coming together and performing as a team, it really pushes you to want to do that as well."I would say it's probably the pinnacle of your career. It's definitely a target that I personally want to push for."Looking at the men's side, there was a lot of Scots in it and that makes us really proud as a nation and I think there's no reason why that can't be the same in the women's side."We're a small nation but that doesn't matter, we still want to strive to be the best of the best of world rugby."

Revealed: Man United to open mega pop-up PUB at Old Trafford which can hold over a THOUSAND fans - and it will be open on time for the first game of the season against Arsenal!
Manchester United are to open a 'pop-up pub' at Old Trafford. Officials will unveil vast, 900 square metre-marquee behind the Stretford End in time for their first match of the season on Sunday against Arsenal. The new addition will have room for 1,000 supporters, and be viewed as a form of 'fan village' at Old Trafford. Starting from this weekend's Arsenal season-opener, the new addition will be free to enter and will open three hours before the match starts. The move is aimed at bringing fans to the stadium early and helping to generate and atmosphere in the build up to kick-off. United also believe it will provide an opportunity for local businesses. Manchester-based brewer Shindigger, will provide the beer while food will be supplied by city-centre-based eaterie Yard and Coop. Around 1,000 fans will be able to fit in the gigantic watering hole at Old Trafford from Sunday There will be a fast-pour system via units which can fill a pint in 10 seconds, music from local bands - and for the Arsenal game Denis Irwin will be the first club legend in attendance. Club partners Estée Lauder and Cadbury will provide giveaways, while fans can hang their flags on the marquee wall. The idea came from a consultation with supporters, who said they wanted more to see and do around Old Trafford. Should the pop-up be successful, it could see its stay extended. United are reluctant to spend big on new infrastructure at their current home given they hope to a new stadium in the next five years. However, officials believe the marquee could become popular and satisfy what they see as an immediate need.
