GIF: Scottish rugby president goes for fistbump instead of pre-game handshake

The pre-match formalities are normally boring as hell in Six Nations games.

Presidents, Prime Ministers and royalty walk up and down a red carpet, shaking hands and making rubbish jokes every time they stand in front of a tall second row. But when Scotland met Wales at Murrayfield on Sunday, there was an absolute gem of an exchange between replacement prop Gordon Reid and Scottish Rugby president Ian Rankin. After shaking hands and nodding to Princess Anne, Reid offers a much more informal fist-bump to his union's president, who meets him as if he's greeting his tennis doubles partner. Rankin throws in a little slap on the cheek too, just to show how he's down with the kids. This turned out to be the only real highlight for Reid on the day, as he tore medial knee ligaments when he came off the bench, and is now out indefinitely. We really wish Reid had the balls to try this with Princess Anne.
