Craig Chalmers on Grand Slam glory, Scotland’s strengths and remembering Doddie

With the Six Nations approaching, the Rugby Podcast is back! Lawrence Dallaglio is joined by the Evening Standard’s Steve Cording and rugby correspondent Nick Purewal. Plus their special guest is former fly-half Craig Chalmers, who earned 60 caps for Scotland, toured with the British & Irish Lions in 1989 and appeared 13 times for the Barbarians.  Craig reminisces about his experiences of playing for Scotland, including their legendary Grand Slam win over England in 1990 and shares a surprising story about what happened the morning after. He also talks about his fundraising in memory of former team mate and friend, Doddie Weir. Nick offers some behind-the-scenes insights into England’s training camp, direct from Pennyhill Park, whilst Lawrence and Craig give their predictions for how the final table will look at the end of the Six Nations championship.  There is also a round of Premiership action, Player of the Week, and Craig gets Tackled by Lawrence’s quickfire questions.  Plus you can find out about Lawrence’s skills in the kitchen and hear his most embarrassing rugby moment!
