SIGNS OF PROGRESS?
There are hopeful signs of progress on the Rugby front, so it might not be too long before we can all meet up again. For the moment, we will have to content ourselves with re-runs of great games and live matches from New Zealand.
VIRTUAL RUGBY CLUB DINNER
What a good idea from our friends at Scottish Rugby Blog Podcast to stage a Virtual Club Dinner. Friday July 24th on Facebook starting at 8.30p.m. It will be available afterwards as well. Dougie Donnelly recalls the Grand Slam and Scott Hastings talks about Doddie Weir. In between there will be quizzes on OLD Rugby laws, some name the tune quizzes and other fun items. And it’s FREE. www.scottishrugbyblog.co.uk/category/blog/scottish-rugby-blog-podcast/
