Ruaridh McConnochie Podcast
On this week's episode of the Official Scottish Rugby Podcast we are delighted to be joined by one of the four uncapped players named in Gregor Townsend's Scotland squad, Ruaridh McConnochie.
The London-born Bath wing, 31, joins hosts Caroline Blair and Chris Paterson to discuss his excitement to fulfil his “childhood dream” of playing for Scotland. Following the change of rules can represent the country of his parents’ birth because three years have passed since his last England cap.
We also hear from Director of Rugby Development, Gav Scott, Scottish Rugby Game Development Manager, Sinclair Patience and Scotland International players Murphy Walker and Elliann Clarke as they welcome the ‘Scrum School’ development programme.
