Podcast: Fraser Brown & Stuart McInally

16 Dec 2021

On this week's 1872 Cup special we speak to Scotland hookers Fraser Brown and Stuart McInally.

Glasgow’s Brown and Edinburgh’s McInally could face each other in the upcoming 1872 Cup games over the next few weeks and the duo talk about the importance of the inter-city derbies in the context of their seasons.

In the penultimate episode of the year, the duo chat to Chris Paterson about the rivalry and some 1872 Cup memories over the years.

They also look back on the weekend’s European action and Fraser Brown previews his side’s match against Exeter this weekend.

We also hear an inspirational story from Loch Lomond RFC’s Stephen Daly, as he tells us about how his rugby teammates helped him get back on the pitch after suffering a stroke.
