BOXING legend George Foreman has revealed his bizarre bucket list hope - to see Scotland win the Rugby World Cup.
Gregor Townsend's men are busy preparing for their opening game against Ireland at next month's tournament in Japan.
And while the national team enjoy the support of Princess Anne, they'll also have the backing of the former world heavyweight champion.
Foreman - famous for a career that featured his Rumble in the Jungle fight against Muhammad Ali, and his line of grills - revealed all about his hopes.
Speaking on the BBC's Sportsound show this afternoon, the 70-year-old said: "One of my bucket list things to see is Scotland really winning the World Cup in rugby.
"Look how long, was it 1871? Always, the biggest challenge you're going to get in the world is going to be from Scotland.
"Give me a World Cup, please, and then I may consider a rest."
Scotland didn't get their World Cup preparations off to the best of starts as they suffered a heavy 32-3 defeat to France yesterday.
Townsend's side will aim to put in a much better performance when they take on the French again at Murrayfield next week.
They'll conclude their build-up with two games against Georgia before travelling to Japan.
As well as Ireland, Scotland also have pool games against Samoa, Russia and the host nation.
