Chris Harris: My journey to international rugby

12 Nov 2020

Scotland Centre, Chris Harris joins hosts Chris Paterson and Al Kellock on this week's podcast to chat about his rugby journey from Carlisle RFC to the Premiership and international rugby stage.

Chris Harris tells us about his favourite international moments including being selected for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the atmosphere the fans bring to BT Murrayfield, how preparations are going for their first Autumn Nations Cup game against Italy on Saturday and how the squad are keeping busy in their downtime.

Al Kellock catches up with Scotland captain and co-host Rachel Malcolm around the disappointing news of the remaining Women’s Six Nations fixtures being cancelled and the Rugby World Cup Qualifiers being postponed.

Al and Chris discuss the performances of both Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness PRO14 and the Scotland team selected to play Italy on Saturday. Watch the match live on Amazon Prime Video – Italy v Scotland, Saturday 14 November (kick-off 12.45pm GMT).
