The boys have a chat about all things domestic Scottish rugby, Scotland Women at WXV2, the Rugby Championship and Scots abroad before getting into the meat of the episode - an in-depth interview with Dan Biggar and Ross Harries about their new collaboration The Biggar Picture: My Life in Rugby.
This fascinating and often touching read lifts the lid on Dan's life and career. It is available from Amazon, Waterstones and WHSmith as well as from independent bookshops on https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/my-story-dan-biggar/7579261?ean=9781035028054

This week Barney and Burnsy chat about John Jeffrey’s acrimonious withdrawal from the campaign to become the head of World Rugby alongside special guest Mark Palmer from The Times; we hear from Gregor Townsend at the launch of a new charity, GREAT, and his fundraising trip to Japan for 40tude; we chat domestic rugby, looking at the opening round of the URC and another thrilling weekend in the Rugby Championship.
Gregor’s trip to Japan aims to raise money to establish the Tom Smith Screening Fund, which will subsidise free screening for colon cancer for women and men aged 35-50 – named after the Scottish rugby legend who tragically died from colon (bowel) cancer in 2022. Gregor and his wife Claire and Tom’s widow Zoe will be part of a team taking on the Tom Smith Ginza Ridge Challenge, attempting to summit ‘4 peaks in 4 days for 40tude’ on the Ginza Ridge in the Northern Japanese Alps.

On this special Big Interview bonus pod, we head to Murrayfield for a chat with Matt Scott. The Scotland centre has recently re-joined Edinburgh for his third stint at the club after four seasons at Leicester Tigers, where he was a key part of the Steve Borthwick revolution that took the most storied club in England from the doldrums to Premiership champions. We talk about his club career at Currie, his rise into professional rugby, his time with Edinburgh, Gloucester, Leicester and Scotland and his life beyond the grass.
