Mark Dodson talks about the Scotland national team and the challenges faced by both Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors this season as we navigate through a global pandemic.

He also discusses the player pathway system, highlights the quality of players coming through the FOSROC Academy, looks ahead to the Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup and bringing communities back together with the return of grassroots rugby.

He’s asked about possible changes to the international season and what that could look like and he talks about the future of the Women’s game in Scotland.

Our hosts also look back at Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness PRO14 last weekend, as Glasgow lost narrowly to Ulster and Munster beat Edinburgh at BT Murrayfield.
