Fettes Community Podcast

This is the Q&A following the light hearted rugby conversation with former international players Ian Robertson (Staff 1968-1972) and George Biagi (Gl 1999- 2004), hosted by Director of Sport Mr Mark Appleson and Head of Rugby Mr Duncan Harrison. The Q&A covers topics such as:

·       Toughest opposition

·       Law changes

·       Centurions

·       Italian Rugby

·       Womens Rugby 

As Fettes College celebrates its 150th anniversary so too does the international game of rugby. We took the opportunity to enjoy a reflective conversation on the changes to international rugby over the last 150 years and to discuss a little of the future too.
