Professor Jason Leitch & Dr James Robson: A Safe Scotland Camp

8 Oct 2020

Professor Jason Leitch and Dr James Robson join us on this week's podcast to give us an update on the current COVID-19 situation and the protocols in place to create a safe Scotland camp for both the Men and Women's team to return to international rugby this month.

“The protocols and procedures, the work Scottish Rugby and their medical teams have done has been an example to the rest of sport and the rest of the world, honestly it has been outstanding.” – Professor Jason Leitch

Professor Jason Leitch tells us about the current COVID-19 situation in Scotland and how it is affecting sport, including rugby. Dr James Robson gives us an insight into how Scottish Rugby has adapted to create a safe environment for its players and staff and the protocols and procedures in place for international rugby to return later this month.

Hosts Al Kellock, Chris Paterson, Jamie McMillan and Rachel Malcolm also discuss the opening round of the Guinness PRO14 last weekend, with Glasgow Warriors at Connacht and Edinburgh at home to Ospreys.
