London Scottish F.C.

I mean, the benefit was seen.

Very difficult with a technical sport like tennis, but we had the rugby guys doing it, London Scottish, we had them doing the speedball, but We integrated it with speed endurance runs.

And yeah, that was a bit of an experience, these endurance runs.

One guy had done the second one and Vinalton was sick.

It's a Scottish, Edinburgh, I think.

An Edinburgh under-23 side playing at London Scottish or Richmond.

So that's happening this weekend.

And the one that's kind of captured the attention is this young Zimbabwe lad.

Whilst we don't have the A League, most clubs have, um, a connection with a champ club.

So Harlequins have London Scottish, Northampton Saints have Bedford.

That I think is a brilliant pathway to allow people the, the right level of exposure at the right time.

So do we need a draft system? I like the conversation of it, but it would appear, and we're talking about the top club, and they are the example that when you've got good, smart, um, coaches in charge, then it can be managed in the appropriate way.

Quinn's re-signed me.

I then injured my foot in a training session with Quinn's, um, and then re-injured it playing against London Scottish for Eshe- Esher 'cause I got put back on loan to Esher.

Yep.

And then re-injured it after that season at a trial for Wasps essentially.

Arthur, I will not be seen doing that.

You spent time at London Scottish on loan.

What did that experience give you?

I had spent the year before that basically, um, being the traveling reserve, which is, you know, you kind of travel with the team in case there's an injury before the game.

winners.Well, Ian McTavish has been in touch about the next generation.

He says, "With the need to find opportunities for our generation of under 20s, what is the relationship between London Scottish and Scottish Rugby just now? London Scottish got relegated and are yet to, uh, and yet are still getting beaten any hope." I got to be honest, Tom, I completely forgot about London Scottish and, uh, I don't even know what the...

Or I can't remember how big the link-up was with Scottish Rugby.

There was chat at some stage, this eternal search for a third pro team-

Ooh

... to, to bring on Scottish youngsters, and there was chat that London Scottish would be that avenue.

But I spoke to someone at Scottish Rugby today, and they said there is very little official connection-

Yeah

So that was another short-lived stint at Plymouth Albion for Nick Liddy feat- after his, uh, uh, game and a bit last season.

He had a, had a about 50 minutes away at London Scottish for Albion this year.

And, um, I did speak to Ben Cohen at the Brickfields, and he did s- he did say that, um, he's got no idea how long he will be at Albion for.

It's a, it's a week-by-week thing from Chiefs, and he would [laughs] he, he'll go wherever he's told kind of thing.

And that one seems a bit weird.

You know, Boston Park felt a bit weird.

London Scottish felt a bit weird.

You know, Camborne was a proper game of rugby.
