  • John McGuigan interview

    A good interview but would have liked JM to have been asked about the “… unkind comments and disrespectful actions being made by senior executives.”

    Also, why does this podcast not discuss the decisions to get rid of the Scottish sevens programmes or the Super Series?

    It seems that the SRU can get away with anything. So little scrutiny. Even over the Siobhan Cattigan tragedy.

  • Great Pod

    Love the pod. Always love listening to Wrighty. We need him in the SRU to expand the game and build and expand our home grown talent which is at crisis point.
