The Official Scottish Rugby Podcast returns for 2021

10 Jan 2021

The Official Scottish Rugby Podcast returns next week with Scottish Rugby referees Mike Adamson and Hollie Davidson our first guests of 2021.

Al Kellock, Chris Paterson, Jamie McMillan and Scotland captain Rachel Malcolm will return for a busy 2021 podcast season, as we start building up to the much anticipated Guinness Six Nations tournaments for our Men’s, Women’s and U20 squads.

The weekly podcast will also keep you updated with all the latest news and information from across Scottish Rugby.

Last year the podcast featured guests, such as Gregor Townsend, Stuart Hogg, John Jeffrey, Ali Price, Chris Harris, Duncan Taylor, Scott Cummings, Bryan Easson, Tom Kitchin, Glenn Metcalfe, Sam Skinner, Dave Denton, Jason Leitch, Huw Jones and many, many more. All 47 episodes are still available to listen to on Apple Podcasts, Acast and Spotify.

Former Scotland 7s international and Scottish referee Mike Adamson, who has been appointed to officiate in the upcoming 2021 Guinness Six Nations tournament, will be our first guest of the year alongside Hollie Davidson who refereed in the 2020 Women’s Six Nation campaign and is set to referee her first men’s European Challenge Cup match later this month.

Mike, who will officiate England v Italy in round two of the Guinness Six Nations, will give an insight into his transition from a successful Scotland 7s career playing in both the Commonwealth Games and Rugby World Cup Sevens, to becoming an international referee on the world stage.

Look out for our first episode of 2021, which will be released next week.
