- Great show - have a listen!
Excellent show highlighting the challenges and also the successes of Scottish rugby at all levels. Well worth listening to and the shows with other speakers hearing the passion about developing rugby is great - albeit I don’t think I have heard an SRU representative on it to tell supporters what’s happening and maybe be challenged by some questions from Burnsy and Barney.
