On this week’s episode Guy and I spoke about the importance of family and how rugby shares so many similarities.
Your teammates quickly become brothers and your brothers become even closer if you’re lucky enough to share the field with them.
Two sets of brothers, two very different sets of rugby ability. Unmatched love and commitment to eachother.
P.S if you ever want a game for Walkerburn I’ll make sure I get the old boots out for one last dance.

From the heavy pressure from school boy rugby up to being part of one of pro rugbys greatest ever teams.
