Podcast: Dr James Robson MBE | End of an era

12 Mar 2024

Scottish Rugby’s former Chief Medical Officer and current Scotland Team Doctor, Dr James Robson MBE joins Caroline and Chris on this week's episode of the Official Scottish Rugby Podcast ahead of his final game this weekend.

Robson will retire following this weekend’s match against Ireland, after 33 years at Scottish Rugby.

He reflects on some of the highs and lows of his career, chats about that moment when he lifted the Calcutta Cup last month following Scotland’s win over England and looks ahead to life after rugby.

This is a wide-ranging and emotional chat with a man who has given so much to Scottish Rugby over the last three decades.
